Fezziwig

• Ghost P[S2] "Laughed all over himself, from his shows to his organ of benevolence; and called out in a comfortable, oily, rich, fat, jovial voice"

  • Fezziwig is filled with love and care - foil to scrooge.
  • Verb "called" - a time to spread joy and abundance of warmth - no immorality from Fezziwig.
  • Sematic field of wealth - despite having wealth and luxury still celebrates Christmas - knowing the true meaning - to share. This is what scrooge should be like. But instead there is a contrast. Despite being his apprentice, he absorbed no Christmas spirit from Fezziwig - he is trapped by wealth
• Ghost P[S2] - "Yo ho, my boys!"

  • Possessive pronoun: sense of belonging and unity- treats them all like a family - sense of protection - equality
  • Use of the exclamation shows his jolliness and excitement.
• Ghost P[S2] - "fuel was heaped upon the fire; and the warehouse was as snug, and warm, and dry, and bright"

  • Semantic field of generosity - he wants to provide charity for others. Warmth is symbolic of love
  • he wants employees to feel at home - contrast to how Cratchit is treated.
  • Contrast to description of school at Christmas to show Scrooge experienced both types of Christmas - only remembers one of them.
  • Fire Motif - Scrooge kept this physical warmth locked away - he doesn't want to give away his coal
  • Connotations of 'Warehouse - 'Are there no warehouses' - warehouses can be made nice.
