Why did Charles Dickens put ghosts in a book about Christmas in A Christmas Carol?
I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it. Their faithful Friend and Servant, CD. 1843. This is Dickens own words on the matter. It would seem he wanted to write a light and at times humourous account of his views on wealth and poverty that could be enjoyed but equally would convey an important moral and political message. To introduce an idea - an idea of redividing wealth fairly to help the poor but without being too heavily criticial of the fortunate wealthy few. A persuasive approach!
