Let’s talk about - HEAVINESS & LIGHTNESS.
And MAKING LINKS WITHIN TEXTS. 1/9
This beautiful excerpt, taken from Stave 5, presents the reader with a new & redeemed Scrooge! Up he gets, full of the agility that we see in ‘Old Fezziwig’ (Stave 2 - no coincidence, I’m sure!) - and in great contrast to the stiff gait of Scrooge at the start of the novella. 2/9
“I am as light as a feather”, he declares. And I love that! Dickens revisits ideas around heaviness & lightness throughout the text - memorably, when we are first introduced to Scrooge in Stave 1. We are told that ‘he carried his own low temperature about with him’. 3/9
