Dickens intentions
To show that everybody deserves a second chance to be good - anyone can redeem themselves if they try.
To warn against ignorance and indifference to the problems of fellow men - ultimately it will lead to regret
To highlight that those who are fortunate should be generous to the
poor.
To highlight that time moves on and to choose to be kind in the present rather than regret our behaviour once it is too late
To criticise the greed and uncharitable behaviour of the upper classes
To teach the reader to always remember their past, take notice of what is happening around in the present and think about future consequences
To highlight the importance of family
Family is more important than being greedily rich
Wealth can be shared and everyone can be happy; if everyone takes social responsibility the world can be a better place
To highlight that the poor are not lazy and they should be helped ,not frowned upon
To highlight the difference between good capitalism and bad capitalism; you can be a successful boss by being kind and generous with employees
To highlight that the values of Christmas: kindness, generosity and
charity should be embraced all year round.
