Mad Hatter / 疯帽匠

The Mad Hatter is one of the tea-party figures discussed in 180.爱丽丝梦游仙境：世界多荒诞，我也是自己的主宰（下）. The episode links him to the [[AliceInWonderland|《爱丽丝梦游仙境》]] scene where time is stuck at six o’clock, the table cannot be reset, and conversation moves through riddles, misdirection, and failed etiquette.

The source also explains the social-history layer behind the name: hatters could be associated with madness because mercury exposure in hatmaking was thought to damage workers. In the episode, the Hatter’s “murdering time” accusation turns him into an anchor for Time-Stasis System, while his raven-and-writing-desk riddle anchors Wonderland Language Games.

Key Claims

• The Hatter is not merely silly; he gives the tea party its stopped-time premise and its ruleless conversational pressure.
• The unanswered riddle matters because it demonstrates nonsense as language play rather than puzzle failure.
• The character connects literary absurdity to idiom, labor history, and Victorian social context.

Connections

• March Hare / 三月兔 and Dormouse / 睡鼠 - other tea-party figures.
• Alice / 爱丽丝 - visitor who tries to make sense of the tea-party rules.
• Time-Stasis System, Wonderland Language Games, and Nonsense Logic - concepts grounded in the tea-party scene.
