The Pigeon in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland repeatedly insists, "Serpent, I say again!" though his tone becomes more gentle and almost tearful. He expresses frustration, saying he has tried all methods he can think of, but nothing seems to work for the situation he’s facing.
This exchange reflects the Pigeon's helplessness and confusion, emphasizing a sense of desperation and failure despite his efforts. The dialogue captures the whimsical and absurd nature of Wonderland, where characters often feel uncertain and struggle to find solutions in bizarre circumstances.
