With disappearing tricks and mesmerizing spells, the cat enchants the audience and leaves them pondering the possibilities of a magical monarch. Yet, Alice wonders if relying solely on magic is a practical approach to governing Wonderland.
Just when things couldn't get any more peculiar, the Dodo Bird waddles in as the next contender. Known for his quirks and unusual ideas, the Dodo Bird believes that the key to an effective ruler lies in simplicity. He proposes that everyone in Wonderland should dress, act, and even quack like him, eliminating any differences between citizens. This proposition receives mixed reactions from the audience, leaving Alice to question whether sameness is truly the answer.
