ChaptersWYMOND, THE CURSED BEAST
No one has seen him,
No one can tell what he looks like,
No one can tell if he's human, wolf, dragon, elf or vampire.
We've only heard his very deep, hoarse voice that doesn't sound so humanly.
We only know he's a ruthless beast,
And that beast is the king of all supernatural creatures -he is King Wymond.
He is an abomination -a mistake made by the moon goddess.
There are rumors that he is immortal -are there still any immortals in this age?
He walks the lands every night and kills any soul that crosses path with him or it,
He never lets anyone see him and doesn't attend public meetings.
He's always inside his palace, with those two big gates locking him away and isolating him from the world.
Weird!
How did he ended up becoming the king then?
Every five years, girls who have come of age (18years to 25years), from different species (werewolves, vampires, witches, elves and dragons) are taken to his palace.
We don't know why they are taken there,
And we dare not ask why, because asking why is death penalty.
And strangely, all the girls taken to the palace always come back alive, but they end up losing their memories of what had happened in there.
No one has enough courage to investigate and find out what's going on -investigating is like walking into the valley of death.
These are stories my grandma always told me when I was a kid, I don't know if they are real or if she was saying those things just to scare me.
But I still couldn't help but wonder if it's true,
Why does those girls end up losing their memories?
Could there be a deep secret behind those closed, big gates?

ChaptersQuestions About The Jabberwock
Who wrote The Jabberwock and why?
3 Answers2026-01-14 17:37:25
The 'Jabberwocky' is one of those poems that sticks with you forever—I first stumbled upon it in Lewis Carroll's 'Through the Looking-Glass,' and it immediately grabbed me with its sheer weirdness. Carroll, of course, is the genius behind 'Alice in Wonderland,' and this poem feels like a perfect extension of that world. It's a nonsense poem, packed with made-up words like 'frumious' and 'vorpal,' but somehow, it still tells a vivid story about a hero slaying a monster. I think Carroll wrote it to play with language and imagination, to show how words can create entire worlds even if they don’t 'mean' anything in the traditional sense.
What’s fascinating is how 'Jabberwocky' has taken on a life of its own—it’s been analyzed, adapted, and referenced in everything from heavy metal songs to video games. The poem’s ambiguity is its strength; it invites you to fill in the blanks with your own interpretations. For me, it’s a reminder that stories don’t always need clear logic to be powerful. Carroll might’ve just been having fun, but he accidentally created something timeless.

What is the meaning behind Jabberwocky?

Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky' is a fascinating poem from 'Through the Looking-Glass' that plays with language in a way that feels both nonsensical and strangely meaningful. At first glance, it seems like a bunch of made-up words, but if you dig deeper, there's a rhythm and structure that makes it feel like an epic battle against a monstrous creature. The beauty of it lies in how Carroll uses sound and context to give those invented words weight—'slithy toves' and 'borogoves' somehow evoke vivid images despite not being real.
For me, the poem's charm is in its ambiguity. It could be about conquering fears, the absurdity of life, or just pure whimsy. The fact that readers can project their own interpretations onto it makes 'Jabberwocky' timeless. I love how it challenges the idea that meaning has to be rigid—sometimes, the joy is in the chaos and the playful dance of words.

The first time I stumbled upon 'The Jabberwocky' in 'Through the Looking-Glass,' I was utterly baffled by its nonsensical charm. Lewis Carroll crafted this poem to play with language, bending rules and inventing words to create a whimsical yet eerie atmosphere. The central theme seems to be a hero’s journey—slaying the monstrous Jabberwock—but it’s really about the joy of linguistic chaos. The made-up words ('frabjous,' 'vorpal') force you to rely on sound and context, making the poem feel like a puzzle. It’s less about a literal meaning and more about the thrill of decoding Carroll’s playful imagination.
What fascinates me is how the poem’s structure mirrors a fairy tale, complete with a triumphant return and celebration, yet it’s all wrapped in absurdity. Critics argue it critiques Victorian rigidity, but I love it simply for how it dances on the edge of sense. The Jabberwock itself could symbolize any irrational fear—defeated not by logic but by sheer bravery (and a vorpal sword!). It’s a reminder that language doesn’t always need to make sense to evoke emotion or adventure.

Oh, 'Jabberwocky' is such a wild ride! It’s this brilliantly nonsensical poem tucked into 'Through the Looking-Glass,' the sequel to 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.' Lewis Carroll, the mastermind behind it, had this knack for playing with language like it was putty. The poem’s full of made-up words—'slithy toves,' 'borogoves'—but somehow, it feels like it makes sense. Carroll was a math lecturer, but he loved word games and logic puzzles, and 'Jabberwocky' feels like him just having fun, bending English to his whims. It’s also a parody of epic ballads, with its heroic quest to slay the Jabberwock, but dripping with absurdity. I love how it’s both childish and deeply clever—like a secret handshake for logophiles.
What’s fascinating is how Carroll’s playful nonsense actually follows grammatical rules, so your brain tries to decode it. It’s like listening to a song in a language you don’know—you catch the emotion, even if the words are gibberish. That’s why it’s endured: it’s a linguistic playground. Plus, the illustrations in the original edition (by John Tenniel) add this gothic whimsy that makes the Jabberwock feel real. Carroll wrote it to amuse, but it ended up being this timeless ode to imagination.

One of the first places I always check for classic poetry like 'The Jabberwocky' is Project Gutenberg. They've got a massive collection of public domain works, and since Lewis Carroll's 'Through the Looking-Glass' (where the poem appears) is old enough to be free of copyright restrictions in most places, it's often available there. The site’s interface isn’t flashy, but it’s reliable—just search for the book title, and you’ll usually find it in multiple formats, including plain text and HTML. I love how they preserve the original formatting, which really matters for a poem as playful and typographically creative as this one.
Another great option is the Internet Archive. It’s like a digital library that hosts scanned copies of older editions, which adds a nostalgic charm. Sometimes, you can even find audiobook versions or dramatic readings, which bring a whole new layer of fun to Carroll’s whimsical language. If you’re into annotations, sites like Poetry Foundation or LibriVox might have supplementary materials or community readings. Just be mindful of regional copyright laws—some platforms restrict access based on location, but most of these should be fair game.

' and since it's public domain, you can find it on several legit sites. Project Gutenberg is my go-to—they have the full text of the book, including the poem, with no fuss or hidden ads. I love how they preserve classics without cluttering the page.
Another gem is the Poetry Foundation’s website. They host 'The Jabberwock' standalone, with clean formatting and sometimes even analysis notes. It’s perfect if you want to savor the whimsy without digging through the entire novel. Just a heads-up: avoid shady sites promising 'free downloads'—they often slap malware on classic texts that should be freely accessible anyway.

Is The Jabberwock a novel or a poem?

The Jabberwock is actually a poem, not a novel—it’s one of those pieces of literature that feels like it could belong in a whole universe of its own. Written by Lewis Carroll, it appears in 'Through the Looking-Glass,' the sequel to 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.' The poem’s whimsical, almost nonsensical language gives it this surreal charm, and it’s packed with made-up words like 'vorpal' and 'frabjous' that somehow make perfect sense in context. I love how it reads like a heroic ballad, complete with a knight slaying a monster, but it’s all twisted through Carroll’s playful imagination. It’s short, but it lingers in your mind forever.
What’s fascinating is how the Jabberwock itself has taken on a life beyond the poem—it’s inspired countless adaptations, from illustrations to video games, even though it only gets a few stanzas. That’s the power of Carroll’s writing; he creates something so vivid in so few words. Whenever I reread it, I notice new layers, like how the rhythm mimics the tension of a hunt or how the nonsense words somehow feel ancient, like fragments of a lost mythology. It’s a masterpiece of compact storytelling.

Reading 'Jabberwocky' from 'Through the Looking-Glass' feels like stepping into a dream where language itself bends and twists. At first glance, the poem’s nonsense words—'brillig,' 'slithy,' 'vorpal'—seem chaotic, but they’re meticulously crafted to evoke vivid imagery. The Jabberwock, as this monstrous creature, becomes a symbol of the unknown, the fears we confront in childhood or even adulthood. Lewis Carroll’s playful language invites readers to project their own meaning onto it. For me, it’s like a riddle wrapped in a myth—the thrill isn’t in deciphering it 'correctly' but in the sheer joy of imagination it sparks.
I’ve always loved how the poem’s structure mirrors its theme: a hero’s journey through a surreal landscape. The Jabberwock isn’t just a foe; it’s a catalyst for bravery and nonsense-as-adventure. Carroll’s background in logic adds another layer—it’s a linguistic puzzle, where the 'meaning' might lie in how the words sound together, like music. Some scholars tie it to Victorian anxieties or folklore, but honestly, I prefer the ambiguity. It’s a reminder that not everything needs a tidy explanation—sometimes the mystery is the point.

The Jabberwock' is actually a poem from Lewis Carroll's 'Through the Looking-Glass,' not a standalone book, so it’s incredibly short—just a few stanzas! I first stumbled upon it during a deep dive into Victorian nonsense poetry, and its playful language stuck with me. The whole thing takes maybe two minutes to read aloud, but unpacking its whimsical vocabulary (like 'vorpal sword' or 'frumious Bandersnatch') could fill hours if you’re a word nerd like me.
What’s fascinating is how such a brief piece has inspired so much—from Tenniel’s iconic illustrations to adaptations in games like 'American McGee’s Alice.' It’s the kind of thing you revisit for the sheer joy of its rhythm, or to spot new layers in Carroll’s wordplay. I keep a framed copy on my shelf as a reminder that great storytelling doesn’t need length to leave a mark.

Is Jabberwocky and Other Poems worth reading?

Reading Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky and Other Poems' feels like stepping into a whimsical dream where language dances to its own rhythm. The titular poem, 'Jabberwocky,' is a masterpiece of nonsense verse, blending invented words with a gripping narrative structure that somehow makes perfect emotional sense. I adore how Carroll plays with sound and meaning—words like 'frumious' and 'vorpal' might not exist, yet they evoke vivid imagery. The rest of the collection is equally charming, filled with playful logic and childlike wonder. If you enjoy poetry that defies convention and sparks imagination, this is a treasure trove.
That said, it’s not for everyone. Some might find the lack of clear meaning frustrating, but I’d argue that’s where the magic lies. The poems invite you to surrender to their musicality and invent your own interpretations. I often revisit 'The Hunting of the Snark' for its absurdity and 'You Are Old, Father William' for its witty dialogue. Carroll’s work is a delightful escape from rigid realism, perfect for readers who crave creativity over clarity.
