The eldest oyster chose not to walk with the walrus and the Carpenter because he was wise and cautious, recognizing the potential danger in their seemingly inviting offer. He understood that their intentions might not be genuine and that the excursion could lead to harm. His decision reflects a sense of prudence and an instinct for self-preservation in a world where appearances can be deceiving.

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.
The Walrus and the Carpenter ate bread and oysters:"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,"Is what we chiefly need:Pepper and vinegar besidesAre very good indeed --Now if you're ready Oysters dear,We can begin to feed."
