Whoâs story is this? Nobody. - Whoâs nobody? The average working man.
This story is very old but very relevant. The common manâs opinions are disregarded. His needs are manipulated. But of course the story makes clear that he is key to society.
The story shows that. Then the narrator comes in and rather dramatically reinforces that point in the final three paragraphs just in case you missed it the first time. Yes, thereâs a pretty high soapbox. Yes, itâs pretty holier than thou. But hey, itâs Christmas time. Whatâs so funny âbout peace, love and understanding, anyway? And thatâs quite a trick on Dickensâs part.
