Can you tell me what the ';white rabbit'; in alice in wonderland is supposed to represent?

It's a ';psychologically interesting'; tale to me!Can you tell me what the ';white rabbit'; in alice in wonderland is supposed to represent?
The white rabbit in ';Through the looking glass,'; seems to represent, in a social sense, worriers and the desire to please...He is always in a rush to serve, his queen and is overly concerned what others might think of him, also he is enslaved to a particular point of view, having difficulty believing anything easily fitting into his {ReAlity].





In a personal sense, the rabbit is our own conditioning to fall in line and accept the restraints of popular opinion and beliefs.





The rabbit, while not an exalted character, must be given some credit, and conformist urges some attention, after all, while the creature, and tendency, could be considered pathetic, he (and it) is the motivating factor that introduces our heroine Alice to the adventures awaiting her in the strange realm of dream. Individual dream (Carol's) in the story, collective dreams (Carol's view of the arbitrary madness that is common belief/behavior) symbolically...Had she disdained and rejected it completely, she would have done and learned nothing...Can you tell me what the ';white rabbit'; in alice in wonderland is supposed to represent?
Cocaine.





No, seriously, it represents your dreams. You can chase your dreams, but you'll never truly contain them.
It means there were a lot of drugs around in the late 60's.
I don't really know, but I can take a guess.





I think the white rabbit is purity and innocence leading Alice to her adventure.





The White Rabbit kept checking his watch, which to me, indicates something adventurous is about to happen.





Now, you might get some responses to this question by those who listened to a song by Jefferson Airplane in the 1970's. That's not really the story of Alice in Wonderland. It is a reference to drugs by using an offbeat slant on the story.
He was the most ';logical'; of all the Wonderland characters..
