Julien Sorel, the novel’s central protagonist, is born in rather humble circumstances as a carpenter’s son, but is ambitious and restless enough to want to elevate his position in society.
Realistic enough to realize that though his heart yearned for the romance and passion of a soldier’s life, he would be more powerful and richer if he utilized his gift for learning as an ordained priest and Latin scholar, Sorel adopts the code of hypocrisy in his determination to gain social status.

Lewis Carroll's beloved nonsense poem about the walrus and the carpenter who amiably lure a bed of naive oysters to their dinner tablethen dine on themreaches new heights in nonsense with Zalben's full-color paintings.
After feasting on raw oysters and realizing his dinner guests are no longer with him, Zalben depicts the Walrus weeping bitter tears next to the empty shells and a blanket strewn with the poor oysters' tiny shoes.
As the oysters approach shore to supposedly dine with the walrus and his friend, there is clear warning of their impending doom: a tin of oysterette crackers and a plump jar of oyster saucebut the oysters approach undaunted.

 "I Am The Walrus": What it means....
Quite true, but in John's comment (about which character he thought was the "good guy") we have a valuable clue to the way John used that character in his song...and he has left us with few enough provable interpretations throughout this enigmatic, bizarre and disturbingly brilliant work.
Beyond a certain point, it *is* arguably folly to read too much into a song like "Walrus." But you can make a stab at it nevertheless, balancing what you know of Lennon's own grasp of literary/cultural allusions with the message that, in the end, is communicated to you as the listener.
Is that why he singled out the character of the Walrus, *whom he misinterpreted as the hero* of "The Walrus and the Carpenter"?
