The Use of Animal Imagery in Poetry
This essay looks at three poems that all contain animal imagery. The first poem, “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll, uses animals to create a sense of surrealism and confusion. The second poem, “The Walrus and the Carpenter” by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, uses animals to symbolize different things. The third poem, “The Hunchback in the Park” by Dylan Thomas, uses animals to symbolize grace and redemption.
