What particularly interested me the most about annotating Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol was reading the textual version of the story. When reading the graphic novel, I was able to visualize what events were happening but was not even as much of an in-depth analysis of the text. This way, I was able to consider specific sentences and words that were used in a deeper way, allowing me to see more characterization, themes, and settings. This method of reading the text also helped me understand John Leech’s illustrations. The use of light in the story is incredibly symbolic and is commonly present in the illustrations. This is a reference to Scrooge being referred to as darkness, or prefers the dark, numerous times within the text. The differences between the illustrations that were woodcut and the others was incredibly interesting to view the detail between them.
