The use of imagenation in Jabberwocky

English 102 Brandon Gramer February 2, 2000 The Use of Imagination in Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky In Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky the use of imagination is a must. Carroll makes up words with rhyming sounds. This confuses the reader a little, but strangely enough you get some kind of an idea of what he is writing about. This is where the imagination comes in. When I heard these bizarre rhyming words for the first time my initial thought was that …

…various meanings and totally different interpretations of the poem. That is the genius of the poem, it fits both personalities. Carrol has managed to create a poem that has a deep meaning for readers who are looking for one, and also at the same time he has created an escape for the imagination, in a sense. Imagination is definitely a vital role in not just the poem Jabberwocky, but anything that you read or do.
