The Walrus and the Carpenter
The Carpenter's friend in "Through the Looking Glass" is the Walrus. They appear together in the poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter," which is recited by Tweedledee and Tweedledum to Alice in the novel.
The Walrus was the oyster eater in the Lewis Carroll verse "The Walrus and the Carpenter," which is found in the book "Through the Looking-Glass."
The poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter" appears in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There." It describes a walrus and a carpenter who lure young oysters to their dinner with promises of a pleasant walk.
In the poem The Walrus and the Carpenter, the carpenter is referred to as 'the Carpenter' throughout.Some critics have suggested that he is a metaphor for that other famous carpenter, Jesus Christ, and that the whole poem is a critique of organised religion, with the Carpenter representing Western religion and the Walrus representing Eastern religion, owning to his apparent resemblance to Buddha or the Hindu god Ganesha. However, this is known to be incorrect as Carroll didn't chose the name of the Carpenter, his illustrator John Tenniel did. Carroll was only interested in the meter of the word and presented Tenniel with three choices; carpenter, butterfly and baronet. Tenniel selected carpenter.
