Résumé

Résumé : "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll is a whimsical and nonsensical poem that takes readers on a fantastical journey filled with humor, wordplay, and absurdity. The poem is divided into eight "fits" or chapters, and it tells the story of a group of adventurers on a quest to hunt the elusive Snark. The poem begins with a group of ten eccentric characters, including a Bellman (the leader), a Baker, a Butcher, a Banker, a Barrister, a Broker, a Billiard-marker, a Bonnet-maker, a Boots, and a Beaver, who set out on a ship called the "Bellman's Snark-Hunter." Their goal is to locate and capture the Snark, a creature whose appearance and characteristics are intentionally left vague and mysterious. As the adventurers journey through a surreal and ever-changing landscape, they encounter a series of bizarre and comical challenges. Along the way, Lewis Carroll employs his signature wordplay and puns, creating a sense of linguistic absurdity that adds to the poem's whimsy. The poem is known for its use of nonsense words and phrases, such as "the jaws that bite, the claws that catch" and "the frumious Bandersnatch," which have become iconic examples of Carroll's unique literary style. While "The Hunting of the Snark" is often regarded as a delightful piece of nonsense literature, it has also been analyzed for its deeper themes and allegorical interpretations. Some readers have suggested that the Snark represents an unattainable or elusive goal, and the poem explores the absurdity of human endeavors. Overall, "The Hunting of the Snark" is a playful and imaginative work that showcases Lewis Carroll's mastery of language and his talent for crafting whimsical and thought-provoking tales. It remains a beloved classic of nonsense literature, captivating readers of all ages with its wit and charm.
