Alice's Adventures in Wonderland 3

Passage:
"'Whoever lives there,' thought Alice, 'it'll never do to come upon them this size: why, I should frighten them out of their wits!' So she began to nibbling at the the right-hand bit again, and did not venture to go near the house till she had brought herself down to nine inches high."

Comments and Response:
For someone who has been going through trouble since arriving in Wonderland one would think that Alice would be much nicer and not play tricks on others. Her being mischievous might be due to her being young, or that Wonderland is beginning to change her. It seems that the later is more correct because earlier in the book she was messing with the white rabbit when he was just trying to get into his own house. In addition she is readily eating the mushroom piece that makes her grow just to scare some people that she has not even meet yet.
