Symbolism Study Answer Key

This worksheet introduces students to ten important symbols from A Christmas Carol and their deeper meanings. Learners match each symbol-such as Marley’s chains or Tiny Tim’s crutch-to the idea it represents, exploring how Dickens uses imagery to convey moral and social messages. The exercise strengthens literary analysis and interpretive reasoning by connecting physical objects to abstract ideas like greed, hope, and redemption. It promotes understanding of symbolism as a key element in classic literature.
