Welcome to the twenty-third video in my "'A Christmas Carol' GCSE English Literature Revision" series! In this video, I focus on the theme of Wealth and Poverty and how Dickens uses it in his story.
In order to focus on the theme of Wealth and Poverty in Dickens's classic tale, I first provide some super essential information about wealth inequality in the Victorian era, analyse MORE THAN TEN QUOTATIONS, and then also provide a summary, question for you to reflect on, further ideas for you to engage with, and some extra video and reading recommendations. You'll definitely want a pen and paper for this video, as there's loads of useful ideas that will help you with your revision.
