It was an instant success, with the first edition selling out by Christmas Eve.  </p><p>Like many of Dickens’ other works, <em>A Christmas Carol</em> was written as a work of social commentary. Dickens had a lifelong devotion to helping the underserved due to his own family’s experiences with debtors prison, which forced him to drop out of school as a boy and work at a factory. </p><p>As Dickens’ biographer Michael Slater described, the author thought of <em>A Christmas Carol</em> as a way to, “help open the hearts of the prosperous and powerful towards the poor and powerless….&quot;</p><p>And we could argue this is a stoic approach to that same sense of loss that scrooge had, </p><p>And dickens triumphs here, because he, as an author, is in alignment with his purpose.  He had been proactive in his response to something as devastating as loss and poverty. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>IMPORTANT:</p><p>My words, my face, my performance, my voice are my own (the property of Stephanie Poppins - nee Stephanie Hudson).
