Charles Dickens’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ works to thwack the idiosyncracies of the capitalist bourgeoisie; mirroring their deficiencies it emphasizes the need for “spiritual change”. Apart from being a pivotal voice of Marxist ideologies, it harbours a simple message, which is that capitalism can coexist with a self-conscience. The present paper endeavours to explore the plausibility of this fact with reference to Dickens’s timeless novella.
