CHALLENGE: Write a Perfect Paragraph analysing
Dickens’ use of language in ONE of your quotations.
Dickens cleverly presents Scrooge as an isolated character in Stave
of ‘A Christmas Carol’. We see this when he tells the charity
collectors that he wishes to be ‘left alone’. The adjective ‘alone’
clearly suggests that he wants no company at all, and links to the
familiar simile of Scrooge being ‘solitary’ as an oyster. Dickens
may have done this to emphasise to the reader that Scrooge is antisocial and does not care for others.
