A Christmas Carol: Christmas and tradition
Christmas
Clear from the title of the novella, Christmas is an important part of
the text. Dickens threads it throughout, with Christmas gatherings and
traditions acting as a running off motif. Through his novella, Dickens
helped solidify many Christmas traditions.
We can see the theme of Christmas is most of the novella, especially
at Fezziwig’s party and the Cratchits household. Dickens shows that
people should be more generous, kind, considerate, and helpful to
others at Christas and all year round.
Christmas and tradition
This theme reflects the Christian beliefs that could have influenced
Dickens. Celebrating Christams and Christian beliefs are shown to be
important throughout the novella. Victorian society was generally very
religious and held traditional values, which made Dickens’ novella
appealing to most society.
