What are five symbols that appear in A Christmas Carol?

Here are few symbols in A Chirstmas
Carol.

1. The three ghosts are very symbolic;
they represent Scrooge's life in the past, present, and the
future.

2. The light from the Ghost of Christmas Past is
very symbolic of the truth, and the truth it reveals is that Scrooge's past Christmases
were mostly filled with loneliness.

3. The Ghost of
Christmas Present symbolizes all the joy and generosity of Christmas which is very
evident by the mound of food it is sitting on when Scrooge meets him, and by the torch
it bears which bestows blessings upon poor meals the
most.

4. The chain around Marley's waist is symbolic of his
greed and misplaced values in life, as well as his
penance.

5. The hearth in the Cratchit's home as well as
"fire" which is prevalent throughout the entire Carol are strong
symbols. The hearth symbolizes love and family, and the fire represents hope, human
compassion, and the Christmas spirit

6. Scrooge is a symbol
of the Victorian aristocracy who viewed the poor as a scourge upon the earth and thought
the world would better if they died, as Scrooge alludes to in the
Carol.

symbols is part of the enjoyment of reading, so have some fun by looking for some of
