In this activity, you will analyze theme, characterization, and Dickens’s use of dramatic irony in chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol.

Part A
Themes are key ideas that stand out or are repeated in a text. Identify and explain one important theme that you noticed in chapter 1. Include evidence from the text to support your response.

Answer:

One thing theme that was shown in chapter one is that scrooge appearently knew that Old Marley and never seemed to tell anybody.

Explanation:

The chapter says "Scrooge knew he was dead? Of course he did. How could it be otherwise? Scrooge and he were partners for I don’t know how many years. Scrooge was his sole executor, his sole administrator, his sole assign, his sole residuary legatee, his sole friend, and sole mourner. And even Scrooge was not so dreadfully cut up by the sad event, but that he was an excellent man of business on the very day of the funeral, and solemnised it with an undoubted bargain". The reasoning was not really specified on why he never told anyone that he knew about Old Marley's death but ever since people found out, he was considered a suspect in the case.

I hope this helped! :)

One recurring element in Chapter One of A Christmas Carol would be that Scrooge appears to have known about Old Marley but never told anyone.

A Christmas Carol was written during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as cards and Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving and Douglas Jerrold.

Dickens had written three Christmas stories before the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story.

There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.
