Understanding the Structure of A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol is Charles Dickens's 1843 novella about Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly London businessman. A mind map of the story starts from Scrooge at the centre and branches into the people around him, the three spirits who visit him, the themes Dickens develops and the stages of his change, which together make the plot easy to revise.

  • Characters: Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, Fred and Marley
  • Three spirits: Past, Present and Yet to Come, and what each shows him
  • Themes: redemption, poverty, generosity and social responsibility
  • Plot stages: the visits, Scrooge's changing behaviour and the ending

Use the map to revise a scene, prepare for an essay or check how a theme develops across the book. CogniGuide can build a personalized map from your own notes, so your study version matches your course.
