Go home, Pip! No one likes you!

Commandments Broken: 4

Other Social Deviants:

In Addition,

We have Pip stuffing food down his pants, Miss Havisham's money-grubbing relations waiting for her to die, Herbert nearly overspending himself right into debtor's prision, and one crazy old lady on fire. Which brings us to:

Total Body Count: 5.

On the Dickens Evil Meter, Great Expectations is an 8.


Commandments Broken:

Dance, fat man, dance!Other Social Deviants: Sadly, not many. Everyone besides Scrooge is a jolly pain in the ass. Although Bob Crachit, being humble, hard-working, uncomplaining, and grateful to work for a mere pittance is about as socially deviant as they come. (Although, as an aside, he does have about 500 kids, so he must be up to something.) And Tiny Tim really is a mawkish little moppet.

However, we do have Fezziwig, the jolly dancing fat man. He's pretty entertaining.

Total Body Count: Well, if you count Scrooge and Tiny Tim in the Bizarro world, 2. Marley is already dead when the book begins, so other than that, we get 0.

On the Dickens Evil-O-Meter, A Christmas Carol is a disappointing 4. And that's only because Scrooge is a right bastard at the beginning of the book. Bah Humbug.
