In Charles Dickens’ perennially popular novella, ‘A Christmas Carol’ (1843), we encounter a world where serious social problems lurk beneath an otherwise imaginative and engaging narrative. Through exploring a world of fiction and fantasy, the author does not shy away from depicting the importance of maintaining ones basic humanity in times filled with rampant industrialism and social injustice. In fact, through miserly protagonist Ebeneezer Scrooge, Dickens manages to use redemption, whilst not a dominant theme in itself, to reinforce the social values he so firmly believed in.
