Big ideas
1. Human connection > materialism

2. Christmas is a time for charity and generosity

3. Everyone is capable of redemption



Scrooge (construct to represent upper and middle classes in 19th century)
Stave 1;
“surplus population” - excess, unneeded, capitalistic views of the upper class
“edge his way along the crowded paths of life” - avoid crowds and other people,
outcast, no sympathy
“wrenching, grasping scraping” - repetition of uncanny, uncomfortable verbs
“hard and sharp as int” - no mercy (sharp), no warmth, compassion and empathy
(hard)
“solitary as an oyster” - has walls around him, a cage. foreshadows change
“the cold within him froze his features” - no warmth or compassion to the extent of
physically e ecting him
“tight- sted” - set in his ways, lacks generosity, his fear of losing money controlling
his life

Stave 3;
“Scrooge entered timidly” - remorse?
“half-thawed” and “half-frozen” - imagery for Scrooge in the middle of his
redemption
“softening in uence” - juxtaposes above
