The paper looks at the presentation of the Fantastic as a form of storytelling analyzing “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll and “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Coleridge. The optimism of fairy tales' perceptions is contrasted with the pessimism of human existence arguing that fantasy is not immature childish fairy stories, but a serious literary genre.
