A Diva's Christmas Carol '

Happiness. Happiness is a state of well-being expounded by enjoyable or pleasant emotions ranging from fulfillment to immense amounts of uncontrollable delight. Happiness can be achieved in contrasting approaches depending on the type of person you are. Despite this, happiness is an extremely difficult jewel to find if you don’t look hard enough in a cave of complications in life. In Charles Dickens’, A Christmas Carol, the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, faces grueling memories and future experiences that will help determine if he, a crotchety, unkind man, will attain true ecstasy or not.

Hester must force Agnes, by way of rank, to reveal that it is believed that the dead “old lord”, plays the organ (Gaskell 18). Miss Furnivall is first connected with the music, when Hester claims that she thought it was her playing the organ (Gaskell 18).

However similar to “A Christmas Carol”, the music is suggested to be derived from ghostly means, because the organ is found to be broken inside, therefore unable to be played normally (Gaskell 18). This thought is later underlined when the child, Rosamond, goes missing, and ghosts threaten the household, further emphasizing that a problem exists (Gaskell 20,24).

With each Ghost's tale functioning as a moral story, Dickens demonstrates the Christian moral ideals associated with Christmas such as; generosity, kindness, and a universal love for your community which follows the same moral landscape of Victorian England in general. The novel focuses more on a modern view of Christmas that is less concerned with religious ceremony and emphasizes more on joyous traditions like the sharing of gifts, festive celebrations, exhibitions of prosperity. The idea that Scrooge becomes one who gives away his wealth is very Christian. Scrooge recognizes something larger than what is temporal and in this, he embraces the Christmas spirit of the day.

In the “Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens the main character is Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge is not a very nice person, he is full of greed, he is selfish, and he is prideful. Scrooge is a very successful businessman, that makes wise decisions to keep his business running. Scrooge was very greedy, he would not donate to any charities for the hungry, and caring about nothing about money and what option is cheaper. He is selfish because he gives his assistant a very low salary and is rude to everyone in his path.

The timeless theme greed was shown throughout Ebony Scrooge and how she treated her manager, her crew, and old bandmate Marli Jacob. In the movie, Ebony treated her manager and her crew poorly in many different ways. She only valued fame, money along with success and she never bothered contacting her family. Ebony’s crew was also overworked and rarely received holidays off. This shows that Ebony is a selfish and inconsiderate person. Her uncaring character successfully helped to develop the greedy theme in the story. Secondly, Ebony did not treat her crew fairly. In the film she lived in one of the most elegant and lavish hotels in town, on the other hand, her crew lived in one of the most dreadful motels in town. This part of the story also validates the themes of the film. Ebony as a celebrity wanted to show off her wealth and capability, so she decided to live in a five-star hotel, however, she left her crew behind in the dark thinking that she was more superior than everyone else.
