One, two! One, two! And through and through! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Jabberwocky (Original Poem)- Lewis Carroll In the Hunting of the Snark, Lewis Carroll described the island as, "an island frequented by the jubjub and the bandersnatch - no doubt the very island where the jabberwock was slain". The hero left it dead, and with its head he wen't galumphing back.Īpparently a ferocious maneater in life, Jabberwocky warns the unnamed hero to beware "The jaws that bite" and "the claws that catch". It presumably lived within a place known as the Tulgey Wood until it was slain by an unnamed hero wielding a vorpal sword. In Tenniel's illustration, the Jabberwock is a large winged chimera (mixture of several animals) with the body of a dragon, a whiskered, fish-like head, insectile antennae and a pair of talon-like hands on both its arms and its wings, which may also serve as forelegs when it walked on the ground. 2 Jabberwocky (Original Poem)- Lewis Carroll.
