** The theory about the White Knight is widely believed by most scholars. He was the only character in either book who seemed genuinely kind and polite to Alice, seemingly representing Dodgson's friendship with the girl he based the character on), although Dodgson himself never confirmed nor denied it.

** In chapter 7, the Hatter tells Alice how he performed at the Queen's concert (singing a parody of ''Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'') and the Queen ordered him executed for "murdering the time". Later, in chapter 11, when he's called on as a witness at the trial, the Queen looks at him closely, and then asks a servant to bring her a list of the performers from the concert. (Clearly, she's remembering the incident he mentioned. The Hatter is noticeably nervous about it.)

** The second book combines this with {{foreshadowing}}. When Alice sees the living chess pieces in miniature form, she writes in the King's notebook, "The White Knight is sliding down the poker; he balances very badly." Several chapters later, when she meets the white Knight in person, he clearly balances ''horribly'', falling off his horse every few steps it makes.

** Subverted in most of Russian and Ukrainian translations of the book, where certain characters in Wonderland get proper gender due to the nature of the language's grammar. Thus Mouse, Caterpillar and Dormouse are depicted to be female.

** Discussed between Alice and Tweedledum and Tweedledee in ''Through the Looking-Glass'' after they recited the poem "The Walrus and The Carpenter". A good natured Alice tried to find the most sympathetic character between Walrus and Carpenter, and after some debate, Alice decided she disliked the both of them, as while the Walrus lamented his actions, he ate more than the Carpenter. Contrariwise, the Carpenter ate less but ate as many as he could.

** Another likely reason is that the possible bishop-related puns would be impossible to translate. The bishop chess piece is only called that in English and Portuguese; in other languages, it has a lot of names, including "Elephant" (and "alfil", with the same meaning), "Officer", "Messenger", "Jester" and "Hunter".
