It represents a more moderate direction in the government of Wonderland compared to its cruel wife, whose favorite order is “Cut off the head!”. For example, when the Queen tries to execute Alice (accusing her of not being able to answer who lies before her) the King reminds the Queen that Alice is still a child. He also quietly forgives many of those whom the Queen ordered to be beheaded until she looks - as a result, only a few of them are executed. However, when the Queen plays croquet, only King, Queen and Alice remain at the end of the players.
At the trial of Chervonny Valet, the King appears very childish, referring to the Mad Hatter with the phrase “Do not be nervous, or I will order you to be executed on the spot”; asks strange questions to the cook of the duchess, for example, “What were the pies made of?”. Together, the King and the Queen represent a fairly accurate reflection of the childish, reckless and tangled world of Wonderland.
