Oggin

Oggin is a fictional body of water featured in Roald Dahl's 1982 novel "The BFG". It is described as a vast and mysterious ocean, significantly larger and more formidable than any ocean on Earth. The Oggin serves as a key element in the fantastical world created by Dahl, separating the land of the giants from the human world.

The character of the BFG, the Big Friendly Giant, lives in a cave that overlooks the Oggin. He often travels across this body of water, using his immense size to navigate its depths and sometimes to catch fish from its waters. The Oggin is depicted as a place of both wonder and danger, capable of concealing strange creatures and powerful currents.

In the story, the Oggin represents a significant barrier, both geographically and metaphorically, between the ordinary and the extraordinary. It is a realm that the BFG traverses with ease, but one that poses a considerable challenge to human understanding and travel. The vastness of the Oggin contributes to the sense of scale and epic adventure that defines "The BFG". The concept of the Oggin highlights Dahl's imaginative world-building, where familiar elements like oceans are exaggerated to create a unique and captivating setting.
