Scrooge’s Analyse There’s Gravy Grave Dickens Word Pun

Front Analyse “There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”
Back
-        Dickens uses the word pun to emphasise Scrooge’s disbelief as well as add humour to lighten the mood and exaggerates Scrooge’s likeness to a caricature of misery and penurious.

-        Making jokes is also out of character for Scrooge so it could show the unerving effect the ghost has had on him
