Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come

Question 1

“ shrouded in a deep black garment “

Answer 1

• The USE of the IMAGERY in the quote RESONATES with VICTORIAN and MODERN READERS as the WAY the GHOST is DESCRIBED ILLUSTRATES an IMAGE of THE GRIM REAPER which is a widely recognised SYMBOL of DEATH
• The BLACK COLOUR of the GARMENT is FURTHER DESCRIBED as being ‘ deep ‘. This ADJECTIVE DEVELOPS the GHOSTS SOLEMN PRESENCE which CREATES FEAR and RESPECT FOR the GHOST to the READER
