    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.…

    Charles Dickens novel, A Christmas Carol left a powerful imprint on the world, eternalized as its growing list of adaptations only continues. One notable adaptation, A Christmas Carol (2009), features acclaimed actor Jim Carrey, as the famous misanthrope Scrooge. In this variation, fidelity is found in the use of animation to its full extent, to depict the characters and world with greater freedom than live-action or written word. By analyzing three scenes, and Beyond Fidelity: The Dialogics of Adaptation by Robert Stam, it can be confirmed that this adaptation is faithful to its medium.…

    The setting, lights, costuming, and actors worked cohesively to project a beautiful and whimsical adaption of Charles Dickens story. However, in my opinion, the most enjoyable aspect of my Friday night was the life lesson I grasped from sitting in the third row, investing myself in the storyline and the themes engraved deep in the script. A Christmas Carol, yet fun and lighthearted, was also courageously satirical for today’s politics, teaching society a valuable lesson about the responsibility of each man; to help those less fortunate with the fortune you…
