Answer 2

Answer:

To create structure for the rhyme scheme

Explanation:

"The Walrus and The Carpenter" poem by Lewis Caroll is part of the story "Through the Looking Glass" novel by him. Within the story is this poem recited by Tweedledee and Tweedledum to Alice in Chapter 4. The poem  is written in iambic tri-meters and iambic tetre-meters, with the rhyme scheme of ABCBDB, in a sing song manner for the whole eighteen stanzas. Lewis Caroll is famous for his writing of nonsense poetry, as the situations and characters are actually absurd and impossible to be actually real. In employing the stanzas in the narrative poem of the twins, Lewis Caroll is trying to create structure for the structureless story that will simply be otherwise narrated as a short story by the twins. He is giving a special effect to the whole novel with this poem.
