Review Of A Christmas Carol
Ebeneezer Scrooge, the main character of the book, was a very wealthy man, a man that loved nothing else than money. He cared deeply for his overwhelming fortune, and never gave away to needy acquaintances anything, not even a single penny. Dickens was quite inspired when choosing the last name of his hero, seeking to captivate and convey the reader right in the middle of the story "A Christmas carol". A series of events makes Scrooge aware of the true Christmas spirit and show him how he can find much more happiness in sharing his fortune rather than keeping it all for himself. He understands that good deeds can help him stay happy and content all year long and fill up his soul with a warm and true Christmas emotion.
