"The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits" by Lewis Carroll is a playful poem from the 1800s that tells the story of a strange crew's hunt for the mysterious Snark. Led by the confused Bellman, characters like a Baker, Banker, Barrister, and Beaver go on a comical journey filled with funny problems and misunderstandings. Each character's odd personality adds to the humor and dreamlike mood as they search for the Snark, only to find it’s a Boojum that makes people disappear. Carroll's poem mixes imagination with a gentle look at society, pulling readers into a fantastic and illogical world.
