This article aims to analyze the relationship between the literary nonsense and the real in the works Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there, both by Lewis Carroll. It tries to understand how it configures a representation of reality or of what we take for real. Attributing to it, meaning and reflection about the concept that, primarily, refers to something that "has no meaning". The path we are going to go through at work begins with an observation about the occurrence of nonsense in Alice, combining the specific theory about; passing on to conceptions of representation. To this end, notions of representation will be taken in Adorno, Aristotle, Benjamin, Auerbach, Barthes, and nonsense considerations by Anthony Burgess.
