A Christmas Carol

I. About the Novel： A Christmas　Carol
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 

  A Christmas Carol takes the form of a relatively simplistic allegory--it is seldom considered one of Dickens' important literary contributions. The novella's emotional depth, brilliant narration, and endearing characters, however, offer plenty of rewards for literature students, Dickensian fans, and Grinches alike. Like A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol has won much appreciation among general readers despite being dismissed by scholarly critics of Dickens' work.

III. My Reaction

Reaction Point - main character(主な登場人物）
 Character makes story. So it is very important that express a character.

For example
・Scrooge -- The chief character of the story. A cold-blooded unjust man past middle age who runs an accounting firm.

・Marley -- It was the partner of the accounting firm, but dies.

・Fred -- A nephew of son of the younger sister of Scrooge that is Scrooge.

・The first ghost　-- Ghost to show the past.　

・The second ghost　--　Ghost to show the now.

・ The third ghost　-- Ghost to show future.

・Bell -- The woman who was a fiance of Scrooge.

These people make a story interesting.
So they are very important.

Reaction Point - film script(物語の背景）

The text from which a movie is made, including dialogue and information about action, settings, etc.

For example
The event that happened in Christmas. Of the chief character is Scrooge. 

He was very Cold- blooded person.There were departed soul which intended to make him a good person.

In this story, A day of Christmas becomes the main background. 

Reaction Point - Set design （それが構築されているどのような風景のルックスと方法）
How the scenery looks and how it is built.

For example

・The story is Impression story.

・The fantasy story that a departed soul comes up.

By the appearance of the departed soul, It express a story non-practically.

My General Opinion

In normal book, departed soul surprised and be afraid of a human.
But departed of A Christmas Carol changed Scrooge of the chief character into a good person.
So I thought that was very interesting.
In addition, Because the Christmas carol was a fantasy story, it was interesting!
I want everybody to read by all means.
