Through the Looking-Glass by Carroll, Lewis
An eccentric, egg-shaped character who engages Alice in a debate about the meaning of words.
Inside the story
Humpty Dumpty is an eccentric, egg-shaped figure whom Alice meets perched on a wall in the Looking-Glass world. He speaks with confidence and draws her into a debate about the meanings and uses of words.
A great smooth egg with a face, exactly like an egg in shape, seated cross-legged like a Turk on the top of a very narrow high wall, wearing a cravat or belt about his middle.
