Alice as "the Most Interesting Man in the World" meme

'"But it's no use now," thought poor Alice, 'to pretend to be two people! Why, there's hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!'"

In Alice in Wonderland, Alice often struggles internally trying to reconcile her childlike curiosity, naivety, and desire to fit in amongst an adult driven world. Crying when nervous or upset is a childlike reaction that is normal for a girl her age to express, and yet a part of her suppresses this tendency in order to appear and feel more mature. At many points in the novel, she seems to struggle between two entirely different 'selves.' 

In several scenes, she attempts to control her emotions and childish responses by forcing herself not to cry. (Follow link for meme!) During the scene in the linked image, her interactions with the moody animals in Wonderland are not entirely positive, which continues throughout the novel.
