Bob Marley's A Christmas Carol

The Christmas Carol is a great and popular story, people have made movies and plays about it, though the play can be more accurate. The movies can be very accurate to the actual story. Although it is not a very long play there are many different things going on. The story overall has a great message to it. As in, never say that Christmas lame or not worth it.

A Christmas Carol The story A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens in 1843. A Christmas Carol is about a old man named Scrooge who only cares about himself and money. By the end of the story he has been visited by four ghost his dead partner, Jacob Marley, the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. They teach him that he needs to make changes in his life, and he becomes a kinder person.

A Christmas Carol In prose, being a ghost-story of Christmas, commonly known as a Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman and Hall in 1843; the first edition was illustrated by John Leech. First Marley is dead, and scrooge pay to the mortician. Scrooge went to his office and his nephew Fred came to visit him and invited him to dinner. Two portly men came to Scrooge’s office asking for a donation and Scrooge told them that poor people had to go to prison, to workhouses, or die. He went to his home and he was visited by Marley’s ghost or spirit.

Redemption The idea of being saved from sin or evil A timeless theme, by definition, is a generalization about life or the human experiences that transcends changes in time and place. Audiences understand timeless themes no matter how old or modern the text, because timeless themes are true and connect to the world around them. Redemption, a timeless theme that was explored through literature for thousands of years in works such as Shakespeare. The theme redemption was presented in the play “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, and the movie “A Divas Christmas Carol “ by Richard Schenkman in various settings, and characters.

How is Marley’s Ghost presented and what Messages does he present to Scrooge Marley’s ghost is the first supernatural character to visit scrooge and probably has one of the biggest effects on scrooge in the first place. Dickens presents Marley as a much more frightening ghost compared to the other ghost that visits scrooge. I think Dickens does this to show how Scrooge is frightened of what Marley has become physically and believes him. Also as Marley was Scrooges only friend I think thus definitely would have made him trust Marley’s ghost as they ran the business together and were the only people that understood each other.

What are the similarities and differences of the play and the movie A Christmas Carol ? In these two stories they were almost identical but slightly different The two scrooges in the stories were very similar. They are very similar because of their behavior, selfishness, cruelty, and misunderstanding for Christmas. Although the two scrooges get better along the story, they had a misunderstanding of Christmas most of the time. The two Scrooges also thought of a word that was what they thought of Christmas and how it was explained to them.

I think the movie version is better than the book. The reason for this is because the movie has a lot more character than the book does. You get to see what the characters look like, while the book doesn’t give a good description of the people in the book at all. You can feel the mood better in the movie because of all of the extra things, like the lightning and fog, to capture the mood. Some similarities I found in both the movie and the book is that Scrooge says, “Bah! Hummbug.”.
