Although both films are directed by Curtis, there are many differences between the two films that distinguish themselves from one another, such as directional style, the time period, and the plot. Love Actually follows the lives of eight couples during Christmastime in London, showing the audience that love can “actually” be found anywhere.

Overall, he just seemed harsher in the movie than in the book because when he was asked to leave in the book, he begged and begged to stay just a little bit longer to get to play in the game, even though no one could see him. Scrooge was more joyful in the book and had a change of heart earlier in the book than in the…

    Dickens novella, “A Christmas Carol”, continues to influence many aspects of Christmas that are celebrated today, such as family gatherings, seasonal food and drink, a spirit of generosity and a humanitarian focus of generosity of those less fortunate during this holiday season. It is the diverse views of the spirit of generosity and humanitarian focus that Dickens seeks to expose in this literary work. The landscapes of the novella shift between the poverty stricken, sick and imprisoned to the higher classes whose enjoyment of the season is enriched by wealth, to the embittered character of Scrooge whose view is one of a day of waste. Dickens uses both outdoor and indoor landscape to create the character of Bob Cratchit by contrasting his dominated servant attitude while in service to Scrooge versus his openly loving father/husband role within the Cratchit family.…
