Family in 'A Christmas Carol': Context, Quotations, and Analysis

Welcome to the twentieth video in my "'A Christmas Carol' GCSE English Literature Revision" series! In this video, I focus on the theme of family and how Dickens uses it in his story.

In order to focus on the theme of family in Dickens's classic Christmas tale, I first provide some super essential information about the importance of family in the Victorian era, look at and analyse LOADS of quotations, and then also provide a summary, bonus question, additional ideas, and links to further videos to watch and websites to read in my bibliography! You'll definitely want a pen and paper for this video, as there's loads of useful ideas that will help you with your revision.

Bibliography (read this for even more useful contextual information!):
- BBC, 'History of Christmas', http://www.bbc.co.uk/victorianchristm....
