How was 'A Christmas Carol' named?

Answer 1

I assume you mean the Dickens story. in the end of the story all of the persons involved ( sans the four ghosts) are involved in a Yuletide feast supplied by Scrooge, a reformed Scrooge and- engaged in singing a Christmas Carol The identity of the tune is never mentioned in the novel. It has been popularily suggested that the song may have been either (Silent Night, Holy Night) on account of its singability, or the more British-oriented God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen.-which has a redemptive theme.actually the song title is not mentioned in the story. Like a lot of things it is best left up to the imagination but those are my guesses.

Answer 2

IF you mean 'Why did he use a term for a miser for his character's name?' - he didn't. He named the character 'Scrooge' and the term became accepted as a term for a miser or skinflint afterwards.

Answer 3

"A Christmas Carol" was named after the traditional English Christmas carol that features prominently in the novella. Charles Dickens chose this title to reflect the seasonal theme of redemption and transformation that runs throughout the story.
