Question

Look more closely at the two versions of this story—the original text and the silent film—and compare them. Identify and analyze the differences in the revelations of any one of the ghosts that visited Scrooge after Marley.

Answer 1

So in the film, the Ghost Of Christmas shows Scrooge the exact moment Scrooge dies. Scrooge dies with someone standing over him fixated on trying to steal Scrooge's ring instead of worrying about him. Afterwards, Scrooge gets to see his name on a head-stone. In the book on the other hand, readers don't get to know how Scrooge died though people did mention his death, nobody cared. Theives would rob everything and some even celebrated. Dramatic irony occurs here because we know that the man everyone is talking about is Scrooge, but it doesn't know it yet. The Ghost finishes the last stop showing him his name on a head-stone.

Answer 2

In the film, the Ghost of Christmas Future shows Scrooge his moment of death, in which the person watching over him is concerned only with stealing his ring. The vision ends with a quick shot of his gravestone. The film portrayal differs greatly from the story, which doesn’t include a scene of Scrooge’s death. Instead, when the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge his future, Scrooge only hears people talking about the death of a rich man and finds thieves fighting over his belongings. No one in the story seems to care that the man is dead—in fact, some people celebrate. Finally, Scrooge realizes that he is the dead man. The differences in the two works might be due to the difficulty of a short silent film to show indirect references to an event. Even if the film were longer, the number of title cards needed would interrupt the flow of the action.
