I love this scene, it reminds me of modern day. This scene to me represents the degeneration of faust's morality, and it has many parallels to the western hiveminds degeneration

Yeah, that’s exactly right. I used to think the scene was ridiculous and weird, but now it reminds me of the grotesqueries of current hedonism-Funny how fast “feel all the things!” degenerates into something gross as all beauty, elegance, nobility, and elevating thought are shed.

the description of Marley's fate is what we call karmaloca after death when the life body detaches itself from the physical body it is unable to complete the transformation to the soul and heaven until it is free of the baggage it has collected throughout life. This is where one feels the pain of suffering they unjustly caused another, and, as in this case, had the wherewithal to relive suffering and did nothing. His description of the man in a white waistcoat trying to help the woman and infant yet, being unable to assist because he chose his coin over helping others in life - what horrible regret. Now one's fate was sealed. For some, an eternity. Do your good deeds outweigh the bad? Only through suffering can you escape karmaloca, and for some, those who create wars, remain forever until they turn to stone and weep.

I watched three different versions of "A Christmas Carol" or "Scrooge" last night and I cried during parts of each one. I've been watching these movies since I was a kid when the only TVs were the ones with tubes and were small and heavy, and only in black and white! I still have the same reaction to them at 73 as I did when I was 8 watching the old movies on TV - long before nearly everything became "pay for view." I wish certain members of the incoming administration would have a REAL LIFE SCROOGE EXPERIENCE WITH THE SPIRTS,. Maybe it would make things better for we the working class and poor Americans during the next four years.

This is a good analysis, but it suffers from the mistaken identification of Charles Dickens as the original author. I've discovered that the original co-authors were an American couple named Mathew and Abby Whittier. If one were to understand their lives and works as I have come to do, after 15 years of intensive lay research, the full meaning of this novella would be clear. I have given a summary in a KZbin video at the following link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYmbhnp3d7RnesU I have concluded that Charles Dickens was a sensationalist and a plagiarist, who commercialized the original story to make quick cash, so as to avoid falling into debt. The original authors were deeply devout esoteric Christians. Mathew was a social reformer and a philosopher. Abby was a mystic and a charity worker. She also had a precocious understanding of depth psychology. They were both in fresh grief for their 11-month-old son when they began writing the "Carol." It was Abby's intention that all the supernatural elements be authentic according to the esoteric sources she had studied. It may have been a "ghost story" to Mathew, but not to her. She wrote all these elements the way Bruce Joe Rubin wrote "Ghost," i.e., to reflect authentic occult phenomena. That's why they opened the story as they did.

You could publish this yourself, you know. If you have the full story written by the American couple, why not do it? It's easy enough to make your own website, or submit it to as many different magazines as you can think of and ask them to publish it - FOR FREE. Outright compare the American story you claim is the original to Dickens' alleged plagiarized story and have at it.

Why did this book ever become so quintessentially epic? It’s rather silly to me. Love triangles are as old as time, but international war over a woman? And all the feminists trying to cancel Homer for how women are treated don’t give a damn about all the expendable men!

I am a poet and a Creative Writing professor I had in college, the one I respected the most, told me I should really read Derrida. Apparently my stuff fits postmodern art quite well. I have still never read Derrida. If I can lend any insight to such an approach though , it is that so much of my own writing is pointing out the silly obsurdities of writing at all. I don't consider myself very "serious". I am just annoyed when smug grammar nazis come along and declare that they understand everything just because they know what a comma splice. Congratulations, but so much of what is avaliable in the written or spoken word is translucent at best. Of course, that last paragraph starts to sound "serious" but it makes me wonder what "serious" is even supposed to mean. Signifier>>>> signified I just don't understand if that really works.
