Charles Dickens

The Christmas stingy old man could be referring to the character Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' novel "A Christmas Carol." Scrooge is known for his miserly and selfish ways until he undergoes a transformation after being visited by ghosts on Christmas Eve.

The boy under the ghost of Christmas Present's robe is Ignorance, symbolizing the dangers of ignorance and lack of knowledge. It serves as a warning for Scrooge and others to not overlook or remain ignorant to the suffering and needs of those around them.

Charles Dickens and Maria Beadnell's relationship did not last long because of parental disapproval, social class differences, and ultimately Maria's decision to end their relationship due to her parents' objections. The episode had a lasting impact on Dickens, who channeled his heartbreak into his writing.

Dickens likely chose not to immediately reveal the identity of the dead man in order to build suspense and intrigue for the reader. By withholding this crucial detail, he kept the reader engaged and curious, leading to a more suspenseful and satisfying reveal later in the story.

In 1833 Dickens had his first story published in the Monthly Magazine.

"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens begins with the line "Marley was dead, to begin with." This classic novella follows the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge after he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, on Christmas Eve.

Scrooge's attitude and feelings changed after visiting the Cratchits and his nephew's house because he witnessed the joy and love they shared despite their lack of material wealth. Seeing their happiness and kindness made him realize the importance of family and connection over money and greed, prompting a transformation in his own values and behavior.

Charles Dickens' first wife was Catherine Hogarth, whom he married in 1836. They had ten children together before their marriage ended in 1858.

Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir.''

``Are there no prisons?'' asked Scrooge.

``Plenty of prisons,'' said the gentleman, laying down the pen again.

``And the Union workhouses?'' demanded Scrooge. ``Are they still in operation?''

``They are. Still,'' returned the gentleman, `` I wish I could say they were not.''

Industry was in its infancy in the early 1800s and matured right along with Dickens. Hard Times deals with the factories in a small town and the unpleasant and dangerous conditions in which work was performed. Farm owners and laborers often rioted to protest the building of train tracks and the introduction of machines into their livelihoods; mobs were known to attack factory owners and workers, to set fire to factories, or to damage equipment on its way to the job site. Hundreds of small businesses and cottage industries collapsed; these people were often forced into the work house or to beggary. This, of course, had a widespread ripple effect on the economy. But the factories, as they'd known they would, prevailed at last.
