Added example(s)- both are so iconic to the franchise of Wonderland that it's harder to list adaptations that don't include the duo than the ones that do include them despite some trying to follow the narrative more closely.

Added DiffLines:

* BreakoutCharacter: Despite having a relatively brief appearance in the lesser-known sequel, the duo has since become so ingrained in the iconography of Wonderland that most film adaptations of the first story, even ones that follow the story much closer to the original text, will have the duo appear despite being relegated to the sequel.

* InformedAbility: While nothing in the actual story suggests there’s anything remarkable about it beyond its size, if the Dramatis Personae in the introduction of some editions is to be believed, the Crow is somehow a ''bishop.''

Added DiffLines:

* {{Hypocrite}}: At first, he claims that particular words, and especially names, have inherent meaning: when Alice asks "Must a name mean something?", Humpty angrily replies "Of ''course'' it must!" But later in their conversation, he brags "When ''I'' use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean," suggesting that words ''don't'' have inherent meaning.


Added DiffLines:

* WouldHurtAChild: Or at the very least talk about hurting one. Upon hearing that Alice is seven and a half, he remarks that she should have stopped at seven. When Alice replies that "one can't help growing older," Humpty says "One can't, perhaps, but ''two'' can. With proper assistance, you might have left off at seven." In other words, had someone been around to ''murder Alice in cold blood'', she'd have stopped aging.
