Midway through A Christmas Carol, I'm half-way enjoying it. It's a little difficult to read, and I don't particularly enjoy classics overall. However, it is well-written, and has fiction themes, such as the Ghost of Christmas Past. I enjoy fiction reads, so this appeals to my interests.
Dickens has each ghost represent a decisions, and his actions. The ghost of Christmas Past represents the events that led up to this point in Scrooge's life, while the second one represents what is happening in his life currently because if his decisions. I speculate that the Third Ghost will show him how his actions will affect him in the future.
All-in-all, I'm enjoying this book. I don't think I'd read it again for fun, but It's been an enjoyable book to read..
I agree that many classics can be difficult to read. After all, they're considered classics after being enjoyed by multiple generations, so they're bound to be written in what seems like archaic language to us. The three ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future; I look forward to what else you have to say about them! Keep up the good work!
