Charles Dickens likes to peer into the capitalist burden and hypocrisy of the 19th century, and though A Christmas Carol may not seem to be a criticism of such concepts from the outside, but unpacking its narrative, undoubtedly, it traced a thread that hits those critical points - one that could be, in a way, comprehend by all ages. Perhaps it was the writing style of Dickens that put a halt in my enthusiasm, perceiving his tendencies for being densely descriptive and taking on an all-too-knowing perspective that impacted both its pacing and overall focus.
