Meaning Of The Poem Lewis Carroll
670 wordsIn 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 this poem doesn't make any sense. As I read on and certain words would go through my head, bells started going off, filling my head with ideas about ...

Juxtaposition In Rhyming Couplets Juxtaposition In Rhyming Pope
563 wordsPope skillfully uses the mock epic genre to satirize the triviality of his society through exaggeration, parody, and juxtaposition in rhyming couplets. The epic form inherently makes subject matter larger than life and Pope cleverly uses this characteristic to reveal the absurdity of the society he lives in. In his epic, he mocks misplaced importance by placing an event as inconsequential as the snipping off of some hair at the root of his action. In Canto III, Pope turns a simple card game into...
