ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is based on the idea that Carroll's Alice never existed at all but that she is something a person must learn how to "become" in a future we cannot yet understand. The "King of Pop" Michael Jackson, who saw himself as a reincarnation of the dream-child Peter Pan, died as a result of insomnia. Involuntary manslaughter doubled as suicide for Jackson. It makes evident in the Fifty Shades series is more ominous than the novels it responds to, Meyer's Twilight series, and Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles. In both of these earlier narratives the heroines sacrifice their lives at the end. Like Carroll's Alice falling asleep to a world of nightmares the nineteenth-century dream-child would never have been able to imagine, Anastasia Steele tumbles deeper and deeper into a rabbit-hole of agonies.
