Scrooge Was Misunderstood & Needed Therapy
<p>A recent <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/how-closely-does-a-christmas-carol-follow-the-original-charles-dickens-novel/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">television adaptation of Scrooge</a>, by writer Steven Knight, depicted him as a traumatised child, sexually abused every Christmas at his boarding school by his perverted headmaster.</p>
<p>His horrid father deliberately left him to that fate, in return for the head waiving his school fees. It’s a dark interpretation of the Scrooge story — darker than the original Dickens tale. But it makes sense and rings true, in the sense that Scrooge’s subsequent hatred of Christmas and his obsession with saving money could have resulted from such experiences.</p>
