The Jabberwocky
Today, we had a simple yet very difficult task to do: Decide what the Jabberwocky for our performance would be. Our brainstorming process was very simple: we sat in a circle, throwing out ideas, sometimes reasonable but flat and sometimes completely ridiculous. Finally, Bukama found the perfect one: Love! It made so much sense. The Jabberwocky, what the son has to beware of, would be love, and the JubJub bird would be women (Sarah & Me). The Bandersnatch woud be attraction (what snatches you into love) and the vorpal sword (Omar) would be the defense against love the boy has been taught to develop by his father (Mohamed). This is what the second stanza would be about: the father would tell his young son to beware of love and anything associated with it (we are not yet sure why) and therefore the son would develop a kind of 'defense' against it. In the third stanza, the boy grows up and is deep in thought on whether his love for women is still possible or not, and in the fourth stanza, a woman crosses his sight, sending love right to his brain. This is where we are kind of confused, but the vorpal sword will act upon the boy, stopping any feelings of love. The son wil then return to his father, explaining how he managed to refrain from love. This is all still very confusing, but I sense we have a good performance underway.
