How is isolation presented in a Christmas carol?

Isolation is presented through the abstract nouns of the ghosts. Scrooge had diverged all relationships and friendships through his behaviour and negative approach. The characters of the ghosts emphasise the loneliness of Scrooge and act like a stimulus is showcasing his inner emotions. Dickens has presented Scrooge as an outsider in society and victim to his own, self-inflicted loneliness. No one necessarily pushed Scrooge away, instead he himself ostracises from society. This is shown through “self contained and solitary as an oyster”, the sibilance is similar to that of a snake which suggests something sinister and making his way through life alone. This main theme of loneliness has been presented by Dickens starting from his childhood to his older years.

Supportive qualified primary teacher

I gained my PGCE from the University of Nottingham and am currently supply teaching across various schools. Teaching in different schools and age ranges provides me with an in-depth knowledge of the National Curriculum requirements of all subjects at all primary age levels, whilst I am able to adapt on a daily basis. I cater for different learning styles through a mixed learning approach as I use various methods to help all learners – this includes the use of visual resources and learning through a hands-on approach. My lessons include varied activities, promoting creativity, and I ensure that high expectations are set and pupils’ learning is stretched accordingly to achieve these expectations. I am caring, supportive and positive. My enthusiasm for education transfers well during teaching, allowing children to develop a thirst for learning. I understand that each child is unique and all require a secure, caring and stimulating atmosphere, and I can help children to meet their potential through an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas.

Dedicated tutor and undergraduate at University of Oxford

I have tutored children from 11 to 16 years old before, and my methods are based in knowing the syllabus through and through in order to get great results in their exams. For more holistic tutoring, I encourage my tutees to stretch their minds through external reading, as well as coaxing them into seeing problems in different ways.
