Scene Summary and Context
In the opening scenes of A Christmas Carol, Dickens introduces Ebenezer Scrooge as a miserly, cold-hearted man. The setting is London during winter, reinforcing themes of hardship and emotional coldness. Dickens uses symbols such as the ghostly appearances and the chain to represent guilt and regret. The phrase 'Marley’s chain' is a key symbol illustrating the consequences of greed. The narrative explores how these symbols reflect moral lessons about charity, redemption, and the true spirit of Christmas. Dickens carefully uses these symbols to emphasize the importance of compassion and generosity during the holiday season.
