MORE ABOUT ALLEGORY
An allegory makes fun of something without coming right out and saying it. It usually is used to make fun of or criticize a government or religion to avoid a direct attack and possibly get in trouble for it.
Background on Lewis Carroll's religious beliefs -
Charles' father was an active and highly conservative cleric of the Church of England who later became the Archdeacon of Richmond[9] and involved himself, sometimes influentially, in the intense religious disputes that were dividing the church. He was High Church, inclining to Anglo-Catholicism, an admirer of John Henry Newman and the Tractarian movement, and did his best to instill such views in his children. Young Charles was to develop an ambiguous relationship with his father's values and with the Church of England as a whole.[10]
The "Walrus and the Carpenter" is a satire on organized religion. It uses silly characters to represent (symbolize) BIG, controversial ideas to send a message.
Walrus - Eastern religion
Carpenter = Western Religions
Oysters = common people (younger generation)
