redemption story - mean and uncharitable > kind and generous through embracing christmas spirit isolation - scrooge was the only person there (sole said 6 times) - needs to create active role in community icy cold - never shows warm emotions to others solitary as an oyster - alone and hard exterior , oysters contain pears (potentially valued soul?) christmas - idea of christmas introduced by fred > generous and kind has greater value than money social duty - poor wants death more than working > scrooge thinks this is good (thomas malthus beliefs) eternal suffering - marley learnt the purpose of life is to bring happiness to them , not optional ‘required’ , marley didnt do this in his earthly life causing imprisonment and torture , warns scrooge ghost of past - shows scrooge forgotten memories before rude , including fezziwigs party ( doesnt take much money just effort ) lost love (first spirit )- scrooge worshipped money not his fiance , later shows the future he could have had christmas present - abundance in world could be shared , scrooges purpose is to share this. would’ve been easy for scrooge to help the cratchits values (2nd) - shows scrooge child will die , reminds scrooge of ‘decrease the surplus population’ , knows tiny tim as individual not idea of poor 3rd spirit - shows people taking belongings to sell from dead mans body , doesnt change leads to him hated and forgotten redemption - generous to poor , happiness to cratchits (pay rise , turkey) scrooge uses money to help others not only make him wealthy > needs to remember happiness from past, generous to present leads to better future purpose of life > make others happy which leads to our happiness

You're literally carrying me through Literature GCSE, you're amazing 🙏🏾

Thanks you have helped me more in this video than my teachers in 2 years

you manage to do what it takes my teachers months to do in 4, 10 minute videos.

Lockdown really got me watching this shit for my GCSE

My lit paper 1 tomorrow this is helping me write a practice paragraph of scrooges change and metamorphosis over the novella

I've never read the story. But the Alistair Sim version of the film apparently does it justice, because all of these quotes were pretty accurately represented in it. Great story and a great movie!

This was really helpful as it was Clear and got straight to the point.
