    Traces of religious messages can be found just about everywhere in life. Sometimes it requires a finely tuned ear to fully grasp or understand them; however, this is not the case with The Muppet Christmas Carol. There are explicit references and plot lines that directly relate to biblical themes. Two very prominent themes in this movie that can be found in all four New Testament Gospels are: help those in need when possible (stewardship), and forgiveness. Stewardship is seen when Scrooge is urged not only to donate money to those in need, but even in the scene when Kermit asks him for a just extra shovel of coal on the fire to offset the coldness in the shop.…

    Dickens makes a positive aura around the Christmas feeling as of Stave 1, he makes the Stave full of energy as when Scrooge wakes up he is suddenly buzzing with energy and is as “light as a feather” and runs to the window where a young boy is shocked to know that Scrooge doesn’t know what day it is. Scrooge pays the boy to get the poultries and to buy the prize turkey which he delivers to Bob Cratchits as anonymous. The Stave is significant to the story as it shows that if someone as miserly as Scrooge can change it means that anyone can change which is what Dickens wants the adults as well as children who read the book so that they can change the way they behave to people. Dickens shows what the readers how it is like to be living in a poor family and is more or less basing the book on his own experience in his life. Scrooge evidently has become a happier person as Dickens shows by pretending to be angry with Bob Cratchit for being late…

    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.…

    Scrooge and his experiences with the ghosts and his feelings about the Cratchits are both driven by the concept of empathy, and it is this feeling of empathy that would inspire readers for years to come. The lasting impact of A Christmas Carol is widespread and unparalleled, as it has shaped the modern meaning of Christmas and all of society’s Christmas traditions. But the most meaningful impact the novel has had on society is the conflation of Christmas with charitable giving. Dickens’ belief in social justice as depicted in the novel was credited with inspiring an outpouring of charitable deeds during his time, as well as a revival of the Christmas spirit that is still evident today. The story of the redemption of Ebenezer Scrooge is one…

    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…
