A Christmas Carol: Stave 1 - Scrooge and the Supernatural 👻 GCSE English Literature Learning & Revision
In this episode, we’ll analyse the initial section of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, focusing on the introduction of the supernatural. We’ll highlight how Dickens employs symbolism and imagery, such as fog and ghostly apparitions, to create an atmosphere of unease and foreshadow the events to come. We’ll examine the description of Scrooge's dreary home and his meagre meal of gruel to illustrate his isolated existence and obsession with wealth. Ultimately, we’ll discuss how Dickens establishes the supernatural element early on while also showing the audience how miserable and lonely Scrooge’s fixation on money makes him.
