In this episode of Book Watch, we’re diving into Part One: Character Analysis of A Christmas Carol and its classic film adaptation A Christmas Carol. Few stories have been adapted as many times—or as memorably—as this timeless holiday tale. But how well do the characters translate from page to screen?

In Part One, we focus on the heart of the story: the characters.

We explore:

• Ebenezer Scrooge’s journey from miser to man of redemption—and how different adaptations portray his transformation
• The role of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, and what they symbolize in both the book and film
• How supporting characters like Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and the Fred contribute to the story’s emotional core
• Which character portrayals feel most faithful to Dickens—and which take creative liberties

Join us as we break down the personalities, performances, and emotional impact of A Christmas Carol, setting the stage for next week’s Part Two: Plot Breakdown, where we’ll compare how the story itself unfolds on screen.
