A Christmas Carol Themes

This document is collection of ideas surrounding the themes of poverty/social injustice, redemption and family.

I collated these ideas over many months from lots of different resources, such as class work, different websites, other people’s essays and critical analysis.

I have provided multiple points that could be made in an exam for each of these themes and then alongside these have included many quotes and really in-depth context.

This document focuses on ideas in A Christmas Carol, the intentions of Dickens when writing the novel and how the ideas in the novel link to the time in which it is set and written. Historical context is a key component of essays, that should be embedded throughout, in order to achieve top grades.

When discussing the themes, I’ve included many quotes throughout my discussion, however please note this document is not about language analysis, instead it’s focused on the themes and points that could be argued in an exam and that I planned to put forward in my GCSEs (however, the document does contain some brilliant language analysis in a few areas)

This document contains complex and sophisticated ideas and would be particularly useful to students that are already working at grades 6/7 and aspiring to reach the 8/9 bracket, bur are already quite confident in analysing language at word-level.
