Answer 1

Significance of repetition of the last lines of each para in the poem "The Rum Tum Tugger" written by TS Eliot?​

Explanation:

• The poet has explained the erratic behavior of a cat in the poem.

• The last lines signify that no matter what, the cat would do what he gotta do. When you give him one thing, he would want the other, and when you give him that, he would want something else instead.

• There is no purpose of shifting interest, it's just the curious nature of the rum tum cat.

• It also personifies the nature of teenagers who are curious like the rum tum cat. Nothing can catch their attention for long.
