* AdaptationalVillainy: The original version of the Red Queen isn't as nice as the White Queen, but she has no interest in chopping off heads despite what you might have heard. She even explains the rules of Looking-Glass World to Alice and encourages her to become a queen.

* RuleOfSymbolism: The fact that he sleeps all the time and never moves is symbolic of an actual chess king's limited mobility in a game, especially compared to the speed and power of a chess queen.



* CatchPhrase: "Nohow!" for Tweedledum, and "Contrariwise" for Tweedledee.
* DoomedByCanon: When Alice meets them, she recites the nursery rhyme they come from--and sure enough, every single event from the poem happens before her eyes. Tweedledum even seems resigned to it ("I suppose you agree to have a battle?").
* FatBastard: A [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example--they're both fat, obnoxious, and rude, but can't really be described as evil.



* RantInducingSlight: As per the nursery rhyme, Tweedledum completely loses his temper when Tweedledee leaves his "nice new rattle" (a kind of noisemaking toy) on the ground, which ruins it.

* ClassyCravat: Alice is unsure if it is a cravat or a belt. He insists that it's the former.

to:

* ClassyCravat: Alice is unsure if it is a cravat or a belt.belt (largely because, since he's an egg, she can't tell if he's wearing it on his neck or his waist--they're the same thing on his body). He insists that it's the former.



* ExactWords: As part of his lectures on semantics, he uses this trope to trick Alice:
-->'''Humpty Dumpty''': How old did you say you were?
-->'''Alice''': Seven and a half, exactly.
-->'''Humpty Dumpty''': WRONG! You never said a word like it!
-->'''Alice''': I thought you meant "How old are you?"
-->'''Humpty Dumpty''': If I meant ''that,'' I would have said it.
** Ironically, he then ''inverts'' the trope with his famous assertion that "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean"--meaning that words as written or stated ''have'' no meaning and so cannot be exact.
* TheGadfly: He takes great pleasure in deliberately using confusing language or luring people into making erroneous statements just to show off his own skill with words.
* InsufferableGenius: Humpty's a master of the English language, and never lets anyone forget it.

to:

* NurseryRhymeNurseryRhyme: Albeit more obscure to American readers--"The Lion and the Unicorn" is about England and Scotland's debate over the throne of the United Kingdom (hence "fighting for the crown").
