Ep.3 of 14 GCSE A Christmas Carol: A Christmas Carol - Narrative Voice (AQA)

A Christmas Carol (Charles Dickens) - award winning tutorials from AudiopiA Christmas Carol is amongst the most famous of Dickens’ works, and Ebenezer Scrooge, the chief character, is perhaps the best-known and most distinctive of all his creations. Our AQA GCSE English Literature series for A Christmas Carol will guide you through everything you need to know about this classic of Victorian literature and help you understand how best to approach it in your exams.Tutorial SummaryIn this tutorial on the Narrative voice within A Christmas Carol we examine why is the preface important, including the subversion of conventions, the positioning of author as ‘friend’ of the reader and the invitation to transform. We ask who is the narrator, examining the first person, first hand, trust, colloquial, interjections at key moments, the positioning of reader and direct address. We also analyse what other narrative devices are used, including the use of ‘Once upon a time’ signalling playfulness with time; the building of tension in the first stave and biblical language.The first 5 episodes in this series, and every series in this podcast show, are free to listen to! Love what you hear and want us with you for the journey?
