Because the Jabberwocky was bad!!!
The son is on a quest to kill the Jabberwocky because it is a dangerous and fearsome creature that threatens his world. By slaying the creature, he is seen as a hero who can protect his community and gain honor and glory.
An unidentified boy kills the Jabberwock in the original poem which first appeared in Leiws Carroll's Through the Looking Glass."And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?Come to my arms, my beamish boy!O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'He chortled in his joy.In Tim Burton's 2010 movie, Alice kills the monster (which had been renamed the Jabberwocky.)
In the poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll, some examples of consonance include the repeated "m" sound in "beamish boy" and "whiffling through," as well as the repeated "s" sound in "slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe." These instances contribute to the playful and nonsensical tone of the poem.
Alice slays the Jabberwocky in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass." This event takes place during the poem "Jabberwocky," where Alice confronts and defeats the fearsome creature with the vorpal sword.

In the poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll, the antagonist is the Jabberwock creature itself. It is described as fearsome and dangerous, with jaws that bite and claws that catch. The protagonist, the "beamish boy," goes on a quest to defeat the Jabberwock and succeeds in slaying the creature.
Jabberwocky is a poem by Lewis Carroll which first appeared in his novel Through the Looking Glass.It tells the story of a boy who slays a ferocious monster, known as the Jabberwock.People frequently confuse the name of the beast with the title of the poem, thinking the monster is called 'the Jabberwocky'. But in the original poem the creature does not have a Y on the end on its name.Tim Burton's 2010 movie Alice in Wonderland has added to the confusion by actually naming the monster 'the Jabberwocky'.
Lewis Carroll wrote the poem Jabberwocky. It first appeared in the book Through the Looking Glass, which is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It tells the story of how a boy slays a monster which is called the Jabberwock (see related link below.)
'Tumtum' describes the tree by which the boy stood in the poem Jabberwocky. The first letter is capialised, so it is probably meant to be a type of tree. However, Lewis Carroll did not ever say what he meant by this word so, as readers of the poem, we are free to decide what it means for ourselves.In his book The Annotated Alice, Martin Gardner says, "Tum-tum was a common colloquialism in Carroll's day, referring to the sound of a stringed instrument, especially when monotonously strummed."
Oh, dude, 'beamish boy' in Jabberwocky basically means like a super cheerful and excited young dude. It's like the poem's way of saying the boy is all happy and full of energy, ready to take on whatever crazy creatures come his way. So, yeah, it's just a fancy way of saying the kid's in a good mood.
Frabjous Day comes from Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky," featured in "Through the Looking Glass." In that poem, it is an expression of the father's joy that his son has killed the Jabberwock."And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?Come to my arms, my beamish boy!O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"He chortled in his joy.In Tim Burton's 2010 movie, the Frabjous Day is the day that the fearsome Jabberwocky will be slain by someone wielding the Vorpal Sword.The word "frabjous" itself is a conglomeration of "fair, fabulous, and joyous."
In the poem Jabberwocky, Lewis Carroll gives no indication as to what 'draws the boy into' the wood, in fact, there is no indication that he was ever anywhere else. It is entirely possible that he and his father live in the wood.It is a parody of Anglo Saxon poetry, literature composed in the years from (circa) 450 until the Norman invasion of 1066. England used to be very heavily forested and a great many people would live in the woods, or in settlements surrounded by woods. Forests wouldn't be that separate 'other' place of dreams or nightmares, but one's home, which must be utilised for hunting, gathering and fuel.There is no sense in the poem of the boy having entered anywhere (or left somewhere else); he picks up his sword, spends a long time looking for his foe, then he rests on the Tumtum tree. As no change of location is described, or even suggested, it seems likely that both the boy and the father are in the woods from the beginning.
