Dheeraj Bangera Jesse Doiron ENGL 1302.48F 27 November 2014 Jabberwocky The poem, “Jabberwocky,” by Lewis Carroll is about an adventure of a boy, who conquers his fears and slays the fierce Jabberwocky. The diction of the poem is very captivating, with Carroll making up a lot of words used in the poem. “Jabberwocky” is a poem with a simple plot, vivid imagery, and whimsical setting.
“Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll, is portrayed as nonsense literature because Carroll uses gibberish throughout the poem, which makes it almost impossible to understand immediately. In fact, most of his readers may have the same reaction as Alice from Alice’s Adventures in the Wonderland, who is shocked at her first time reading this poem because the first stanza is full of made up words that make this poem incomprehensible. However through imagery and context, readers may be able to come up with their own interpretation on this poem. In English, nothing has a real meaning unless you make a meaning out of it. Although he first stanza of this poem is incomprehensible, it describes the setting of the story.
