Dickens portrays:
Upper Class vs. Lower Class of Victorian Era.
He wants to sentimentalize the upper class
for the lower class. Images of present through Scrooge's eyes
undermine Victorian's class prejudice
towards the poor. It also awakens Dicken's readers to the
harsh reality od poverty and suffering.
