Saint Paul's Cathedral
“I know exactly what people think of me. When I hear them whisper my name, I can feel the hatred, resentment and jealousy that money brings. They may despise me, but they come to me whenever they need a loan. And they hide their contempt in the tears that accompany the story of their misfortunes. Like the snow that covers the mud, the excrement and the garbage that they trample on a daily basis. Like this collective pantalonnade of kindness and indulgence that they call ‘Christmas’. Nonsense!”
Mrs. Scrooge
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is a major work of world literature. This story takes place in London between Camden Town and Saint Paul’s Cathedral. This story is declined in comic strip by José Luis Munuera. A version in which Ebenezer Scrooge is then a woman.
Scrooge, that miserly woman
Scrooge, nobody likes him. And she gives it back well in return. She is a misanthropic young woman, only thinks about money and amassing as much as possible.
On this Christmas Eve, Harpagon goes to his office. She created this company with her partner Marley. But since he died, she no longer concedes anything to anyone. She works with Bob Cratchit, her clerk, but does him no favors. Just a vacation on Christmas Day.
London and its Saint Paul’s cathedral
Every day, Mrs. Scrooge leaves her house to go to her office. She is scrutinized by everyone in the street. The inhabitants despise her and vice versa.
In the distance, stands the Saint Paul’s cathedral. It is a major Anglican place of worship in London. Like this monument, Mrs. Scrooge is proud and walks under the jeers of others. Worse, she hates Christmas parties.
A feminized Christmas song
In Charles Dickens’ novel, Scrooge is a miserly old man. To change the angle of this story, José Luis Munuera has reversed the gender of the main character. The author of Merlin with Joann Sfar freely adapts this great text. It feminizes this plot. This allows us to revisit this masterpiece. A delightful rereading to enjoy for the holidays.
A Christmas Carol by José Luis Munuera is composed of 80 pages.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St Paul’s Cathedral is located in the City of London.
In the past, a dolmen stood on Ludgate Hill. A place of worship since time immemorial, it was later used as a Greek temple. The first church in England was built here in 604. In 1666, the Great Fire of London destroyed the cathedral at the top of the hill. Religious buildings built here have often been victims of fire or partial or total destruction. But each time, out of the ashes, ever more daring buildings were erected, as if to prove the powerful resilience of a people. The tumultuous history of St. Paul’s involved various reconstructions. The building as we know it today is the fifth. The result of the work of Sir Christopher Wren. It took 35 years to complete the work. Known for its impressive dome, the cathedral is spectacular wherever it is viewed from. Its immaculate white main façade with its two magnificent towers symbolises its grandeur. St Paul’s is a very important cathedral for Londoners and has come a long way. Although it was designed and built to avoid the same fate as all its predecessors, it was almost destroyed during the Second World War when the German army targeted it during the bombing. But this time, Saint-Paul stood firm and, because of its privileged geographical position, quickly became a symbol of resistance to oppression. It is therefore logical that popular culture has adopted it, contributing in many ways to the continuity of its history.
