CONCLUSION:

  Firstly, as I said in my first-paper I want to complete this web-site with a conclusion about my own work. I have to say that is above all a critical conclusion resulting of a comparison between the final contents of my research and my initial purposes.

  The most important difference is that my intention was study to Carroll within children´s literature and his educational role and however, I haven´t found concrete information in Internet about that point so finally the main aspect of the work has resulted to be the fantasy and nonsense in Alice´s books. In relation to this notion I have to correct the name which I give to this idea at the beginning, so the notion of reality and fantasy would be better than the "actual" and "nonsense" one.

  With all this in view and according to my opinion I think that actually the fantasy and nonsense or the rreality and fantasy is one of the most important points to deal in the study of L. Carroll and his Alice´s books since both books are sustained exercises in nonsense.

  The term nonsense is often associated exclusively with Lear and Carroll but though they undoubtedly made it into a minor literary art, the elements were already there in the English nursery rhymes and in folk-literature generally.

  Though children tend to prefer Wonderland as more realistic with Alice´s puzzled references to her own life, her lessons, her friend, and her cat; to the purist Through the looking glass (1871) is the better book. Both Alices are contained within the framework of a dream, but whereas the episodes of the first are organized with corresponding inconsequence, the second is a tightly controlled account of the reverse manner in which life must proceed on the other side of a looking glass and also of the moves in a chess game in which Alice ends by becoming a queen. In this the nonsense is more ruthless and violent then in the first Alice.
