Question 4

“Slowly ,gravely ,silently” Analysis?

Answer 4

Creates a solemn tone
The adverb, “gravely,” foreshadows the revelation of Scrooge’s tombstone, and has generally allusions towards death.

(+ is a direct contrast to the previous two spirits (as it’s silent and completely inhumane).

(The ghost is constantly “silent” to allow Scrooge to draw his own conclusions and take responsibility of his choices.?)

Question 5

“Shrouded…black” Analysis?

Symbolic of the figure of death.

“Shrouded” “-true form hidden,
suggests that the future is mysterious/ ominous as it is always unknown( like the the Spirit’s form)

eerie description of the spirit wearing a “deep black garment” reflects the appearance of the Grim Reaper, a symbol of approaching death- foreshadows scrooges fate if he does not transform/ redeem himself.
