The Supernatural in 'A Christmas Carol': Context, Quotations, and Analysis

Welcome to the nineteenth video in my "'A Christmas Carol' GCSE English Literature Revision" series! In this video, I focus on the theme of the supernatural!

In order to focus on the theme of the supernatural in Dickens's classic Christmas tale, I first define what could be meant by 'supernatural', provide a tonne of essential contextual information, look at a variety of quotations, and analyse them too! You'll definitely want a pen and paper for this video, as there's loads of useful ideas that will help you with your revision.
