This two-lesson GCSE resource explores how Dickens presents Marley’s Ghost in Stave One of A Christmas Carol.
The first lesson focuses on the arrival of the ghost and covers the passage from ‘Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in his usual melancholy tavern…’ down to ‘…I won’t believe it’. It enables learners to examine how Dickens hints at the impending arrival of Marley’s Ghost, from the appearance of Marley’s face in the door knocker to the sound of clanking chains in the cellar.
Lesson two focuses on how Dickens portrays Marley’s Ghost as being in Purgatory. It enables learners to explore Dickens’ vision of the third realm, separate to Heaven and Hell, in which Marley’s Ghost exists.
