A Christmas Carol: A Mystical Fable the Christmas Ghosts

by Charles Dickens

Overview

A Christmas Carol, which is a Christmas ghost story, opens up on a frigid Christmas Eve in London, where Ebenezer Scrooge is personified as an unkind man who is rude in his behavior towards his nephew who invited him on Christmas. The novel's main plot is around Ebenezer Scrooge, who meets the spirit of his deceased business partner, who warns him to avoid the same fate as he did while alive. Scrooge was afterward visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, who made him travel through the 3 phases of his life respectively. The ghost of Christmas Future showed him the vision of his own death, which left him terrified. This ghost voyage through the various phases showed him the faults in his ways, causing him to start living a life that was radically different from the one before Christmas Eve. This is a good read that will show you how the morality of man defines his way of life.

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
