The Classics master is recalled as the old crab who taught the young Mock Turtle Laughing and Grief. Though only mentioned, the teacher’s unusual lesson helps reveal the Mock Turtle’s strange, sorrowful schooling and the topsy-turvy customs of Wonderland.

Description

The Classics master is identified as an old crab, but no specific shell color, size, facial features, or clothing are described. The only clear impression is of age and the role of a teacher. Beyond its crab form, the text leaves its appearance to the imagination.
