A Christmas Carol audiobook by Charles Dickens
Dickens divided A Christmas Carol audiobook into five parts called “staves.”
- Stave one: A Christmas Carol audiobook begins seven years after the death of Ebenezer Scrooge’s business associate, Jacob Marley, on a bleak, chilly Christmas Eve in London. Scrooge, an elderly miser, despises Christmas and declines his nephew Fred’s supper offer. He refuses two men who approach him for a donation to provide food and heating for the impoverished, and only reluctantly permits his overworked, underpaid clerk, Bob Cratchit, to take Christmas Day off with pay to adhere to societal tradition.
- Stave two: Later in A Christmas Carol audiobook, the first ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Past, transports Scrooge to Christmas events from his childhood, telling him of a more innocent period in his life. Scrooge’s lonely youth at boarding school, his relationship with his adored sister Fan, who died young while giving birth to Fred, and a Christmas celebration given by his first boss, Mr Fezziwig, who treated him like a son, are all depicted in the sequences.
- Stave three: The second spirit, appears in the next part of A Christmas Carol audiobook, the Ghost of Christmas Present, transports Scrooge to a joyful market where people are purchasing the ingredients for Christmas supper, as well as to Christmas festivities in a miner’s cabin and a lighthouse. Scrooge and the spirit also make an appearance at Fred’s Christmas gathering. This stave is dominated by Bob Cratchit’s family feast, which presents his youngest son, Tiny Tim, a happy child who is gravely ill. Tiny Tim will perish unless the path of events alters, according to the spirit.
- Stave four: This part of A Christmas Carol audiobook is about the third spirit. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come reveals Scrooge a Christmas Day in the future. The silent spirit discloses events involving the death of a despised man, whose funeral is attended only on the condition that lunch be supplied.
- Stave five: On Christmas morning, Scrooge is a different guy. He makes a large contribution to the charity he refused the day before, sends a large turkey discreetly to the Cratchit house for Christmas dinner, and spends the afternoon at Fred’s Christmas celebration. The next day, he raises Cratchit’s salary and starts to act as Tiny Tim’s father figure. Scrooge then handles everyone with kindness, charity, and sympathy, embodying the Christmas spirit.
A Christmas Carol audiobook is a Christmas tale. Without it, it wouldn’t be the same. It’s wonderfully celebratory while also being educational. It’s a metaphor for what happens when people are overly bitter and twisted, unwilling to participate in a happy occasion. It shows what can happen when someone refuses their family on trivial grounds and allows themselves to be put apart. It also implies that one should not be overly preoccupied with money. Money isn’t everything, and it definitely didn’t make Scrooge happy. But Christmas did and will continue to do so.
