1. Do you believe this story is nonsense for nonsense’s sake, or are there deeper, symbolic interpretations that can be made about Carroll’s work? Explain.

This question is about "Alice in Wonderland"

Answer:

I believe that Carroll's work was not nonsense for nonsense’s sake, but that it includes many logical and playful concepts in order to stimulate the imagination of children.

Step-by-step explanation:

You should already know that Carroll was a professor of mathematics and that he was a great academic in the field of logic, being an individual who had a certain love for puzzles that involved logical reasoning and the use of mathematical concepts.

When writing "Alice in Wonderland" he used these elements, but in a fun way and that instigated the children's imagination, so they would develop their reasoning in a way that would attract them, with funny, playful things that seem to make no sense at all . I believe that this is the real meaning of this work, I do not believe that Carroll thought of creating deep and philosophical meanings, nor even writing a work that was just nonsense for nonsense’s sake, but that was stimulating and exciting.
