    Jabberwocky

    BY LEWIS CARROLL

    ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves


    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

    “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!


    The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
    The frumious Bandersnatch!”

    He took his vorpal sword in hand;


    Long time the manxome foe he sought—
    So rested he by the Tumtum tree
    And stood awhile in thought.

    And, as in uffish thought he stood,


    The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
    Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
    And burbled as it came!

    One, two! One, two! And through and through


    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
    He left it dead, and with its head
    He went galumphing back.

    “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?


    Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
    O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
    He chortled in his joy.

    ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves


    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

    Summary of the "Jabberwocky" Poem


    Popularity of the Poem "Jabberwocky": Lewis Carroll, one of the finest
    English poets, wrote this poem. 'Jabberwocky,' commonly known as a
    nonsensical poem, is one of the greatest literary works. It first featured in
    the novel Through the Looking Glass, a sequel to Alice's Adventures in
    Wonderland, published in 1871. The poem depicts the bravery of a small
    kid who meets and defeats an evil dragon-like beast. The poem catches the
    reader's attention because of the inventive use of fresh words and phrases.

    "Jabberwocky" as a Representative of Courage: The poem depicts a young


    boy's parental love and courage. The poem begins when the boy's father
    hears some unusual noises and informs his kid about strange animals who
    reside in a dark wood with other strange creatures. In response, the son
    draws his sword and sets out in pursuit of those perilous beasts. He not
    only discovers them, but also battles them after some searching. He returns
    with Jabberwocky's head in his hand. When the father sees this, he praises
    his son and rejoices in his son's win. As a result, their lives resume
    normalcy. What captivates the reader, though, is the boy's bravery in
    confronting evil while leaving his worries behind.

    Major Themes in "Jabberwocky: The poem's major themes include courage,


    love, and good versus evil. The poem is centered on the heroic victory of
    the young boy who risked his life to destroy Jabberwocky. Despite his
    father's warnings about the wicked beast, the youngster musters the
    courage to rid the world of evil.
