Charles Dickens chose to set "A Christmas Carol" during Christmas time because he wanted to convey themes of generosity, compassion, and the spirit of giving that are central to the Christmas season. The story's setting allows Dickens to emphasize the transformative power of the holiday and the potential for redemption and change in individuals.
Because the holiday season provides a wonderful landscape of joy and giving and serves as a metaphor for the ideal human society. It was conceived in September 1843 and written in two weeks in December for immediate publication.
Dickens called his novel 'A Christmas Carol' because he expected the story to be repeated and shared between generations. He also intended it to bring people together as one, just like the singing of Christmas carols spread joy and bring families together. His carol was a song of praise of the Christmas season and of the recovery of Ebenezer Scrooge, form miserable to joyful.
Cleverly, Dickens called the five chapters of the book "staves." A musical stave is a stanza with a consistent theme and mood. Each stave in the story delivers a different message and each has a definite mood. As in a carol each stave can stand alone but each contributes to the carol's overall theme.
A good carol also contains a memorable refrain, repeated at appropriate times throughout. In Dickens' A Christmas Carol the refrain is no doubt the blessing from Tiny Tim, "God bless us every one!" It's a refrain that has been repeated countless times since the publishing of A Christmas Carol.
The story sings the praises of the sentiments of the Christmas season in a memorable way and will be repeated as long as carols and the Christmas season endure.
The concept was and remains that across Christmas is atime of year when many people think about others in a more compassionate way. People seem to consider talking time to be nicer and more charitable. However, it is also the time when those that have "resource" (money - family) tender to spend even more on themselves and their immeadiate family yet there was in Britain in 1843 when the story was written massive deprivation, huge unemployment and homlessness,. Dickens saw that this is the time when people should consider those with nothing and, if possible give a lttle to help those in desperate need.
