The March Hare is a character in Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but he also appears in Through the Looking Glass, where he has the name Haigha (pronounced 'hare').
He is most famous for being at the Mad Tea Party in Chapter 7 of Alice's Adventures, which is being held at his house. Apart from Alice, the other guests are the Dormouse and the Hatter.
At the tea party, the March Hare famously offers Alice some wine, despite the fact that there isn't any and also offers here 'more tea' even though she is yet to have some. He is also chastised by the Hatter for having put butter into the Hatter's watch.
The inspiration for the character was the phrase 'mad as a March hare', which stems from a folk belief that Hares go a bit bonkers in the mating season.
The March Hare is a character in the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. He is known for his wild and unpredictable behavior, often appearing alongside the Mad Hatter. The March Hare is famous for his involvement in the tea party scene where he and the Mad Hatter continuously move around the table, never actually sitting down to have tea.
In the original book he is called the March Hare. In Tim Burton's recent movie, he has been named Thackery Earwacket.
The March Hare is male. In the original book, Carroll refers to him as 'he'; The March Hare took the watch and looked at it gloomily: then he dipped it into his cup of tea, and looked at it again: but he could think of nothing better to say than his first remark, `It was the BEST butter, you know.'
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Except the Mad Hatter is actually just called 'the Hatter' in the book.)
There isn't a stuffed bunny in Alice in Wonderland. There is a rabbit who is called 'the White Rabbit', and there is a hare, who is called 'the March Hare'.In the movie, The Last Mimzy, there is a stuffed bunny named Mimzy. It is shown to be originally owned by Alice Liddell, the real little girl the Alice stories are theorized to have been based on. Throughout the movie there a couple of references to this. At one point the character Emma says, "I looked through the looking glass Mommy. I looked through it. Just like Alice." The Mimzy doll never actually appeared in the Alice in Wonderland stories, although the movie has sent many people searching for the references.
In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice doesn't find anything in a teapot. In the 1951 Disney version, when she first sees the Dormouse, the March Hare is pulling him out of a teapot.
In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice sits down at the tea party uninvited, despite being told that there is "no room" by the March Hare and the Hatter. She does the same in the 1951 Disney version, and the White Rabbit also turns up, but it isn't clear whether or not he has been invited.
In the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Hatter has tea with the March Hare, who is not a rabbit, but hares are similar. In the 1951 Disney animation, the March Hare is at the tea party, but the White Rabbit also visits briefly.
In the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice visits three houses; the White Rabbit's house, the Duchess' house and the March Hare's House. The March Hare's house is where the mad tea party is being held, but as it is set out on the front lawn, Alice doesn't actually enter the house at all. The White Rabbit's house is where she grows and becomes stuck, and the Duchess' house is the one full of pepper which makes her sneeze. In the 1951 Disney version she visits the Hare and Rabbit's houses, as in the book, but doesn't visit the Duchess'.
The character who lives in a teapot in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is the Dormouse. He is a sleepy and often overlooked character who attends the tea party hosted by the Mad Hatter and the March Hare.
The chimneys were shaped like ears. Here is the quotation from the book: "She had not gone much farther before she came in sight of the house of the March Hare: she thought it must be the right house, because the chimneys were shaped like ears and the roof was thatched with fur."
Alice had adventures in Wonderland in the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll.
Alice mentions that it is May, just before she goes to the Mad Tea Party, in Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.`the March Hare will be much the most interesting, and perhaps as this is May it won't be raving mad--at least not so mad as it was in March.'
