The walrus and the carpenter might represent the bourgeois capitalist class and its struggle against the proletariat (working class). The oysters are led away and ultimately consumed, mirroring a Marxist perspective on the exploitation of the working class by the elite.
Or, the poem may been seen as reflections on innocence. The oysters trust the seemingly benevolent walrus and carpenter, only to be betrayed. This theme of deception is prevalent in Carroll's works and may reflect his views on the complexities of adulthood and the inevitable loss of innocence.
