Characters

Start with the characters

This Characters page is one section of the A Christmas Carol unit in Literature. It brings together resources made by GoConqr users, including broad character maps and profiles of individual characters. School students can use them to organize what they know, while teachers can look for material to use with their classes.

For an overview, start with the mind map A Christmas Carol - Characters. It introduces Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley and the Christmas ghosts. Then look at Characters, which includes descriptions of Scrooge and Bob Cratchit. Comparing the maps can help you see how their creators have organized their character notes.

Explore individual profiles

After an overview, choose a character to study in more detail. Character Profile - Bob Cratchit describes him as hardworking and a family man, and includes his role as Scrooge's clerk. The Tiny Tim character profile organizes material under personality, background and context.

The Cratchit Family looks at the family together and contrasts their close relationships with Scrooge's loneliness. There is also a mind map on Fred that describes his cheerful manner. Use these profiles alongside an overview map to connect individual descriptions with the wider cast.

Combine formats as you study

The page also lists flashcard decks, notes, a slide set and a quiz. Once you have explored a map, try the quiz and return to the maps to look again at character details. You can also use the listed flashcards and notes alongside the maps as you prepare for an exam.

As a section of the A Christmas Carol unit in Literature, this page gives you a place to focus on characters within that unit. Choose a profile and use it alongside an overview to build your own character notes.
