Originally published in 1843, Charles Dickens’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ defined and popularized quintessential Christmas tropes while condemning Victorian England’s harsh social division between the rich and the poor.
‘A Christmas Carol’ centers around a businessman named Ebenezer Scrooge, who is renowned for miserly behavior. When the novel opens, it is approaching Christmas, and Scrooge receives an unexpected visitor who foretells three more very important visitors who could potentially change the course of Scrooge’s future.
The story explores the themes of greed, forgiveness, and tricky concepts of time, as well as themes of generosity and compassion.
