PROTECTING CHARACTERS THROUGH COPYRIGHT LAW: PAVING A NEW ROAD UPON WHICH LITERARY, GRAPHIC, AND MOTION PICTURE CHARACTERS CAN ALL TRAVEL* Dean D. Niro** INTRODUCTION Most everyone would recognize Bugs Bunny, Charlie Brown, Ebenezer Scrooge, and James Bond. These characters appear in a variety of mediums, including cartoons, comic strips, novels, and motion pictures. Today, in the age of sequels and retail advertising, characters have become an important com- mercial commodity. Characters, thus, need legal protection. The federal copy- right statute may provide this protection. The federal copyright statute provides an author protection in his "original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression., 1 Thus, a fic- tional character is protected by the copyright of the work in which the charac- ter originally appears.2 Sometimes, however, a character can be removed from the original work in which it appeared, then resurface in another completely unrelated work.

  • “A Second Chance” by Nehir T. First Place Award a Writer Uses Many
    “A Second Chance” By Nehir T. First Place Award A writer uses many different literary devices within a piece of literature. One such device is characterization; it is not only the physical description of a character, but also his/her actions, thoughts, and voiced conversations. It is also how the character interacts with others, and what others think of the said character. For example, Charles Dickens, the writer of A Christmas Carol, depicts the persona of Ebenezer Scrooge, his protagonist/antagonist, as a dynamic character. Ebenezer begins by having more vices than virtues, but transitions into a new personage. Therefore, Dickens’ use of characterization brings to life the underlying message that people can change for the better when given a second chance. In the exposition of the novella, Dickens’ physical description of Scrooge creates a lonely, elderly man. Scrooge has a “cold within him [that] froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and [have the quality of a] grating voice’’(2). Due to his frigidity, “nobody ever stopped him in the street [to say hello]’’(2). When two charitable gentlemen enter his office for a Christmas donation for the poor, Scrooge mentions that he already supports establishments and that he does not want to donate any money to make “idle people merry”(6). He also says “if the poor would rather die than be sent to workhouses, then . they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population” (6). Initially Scrooge is insensitive toward mankind.

  • Jacob Marley Was Dead
    Jacob marley was dead Continue I personally love the Book of Christmas Song and I read it every December. It's not a long book, which is probably why it's a favorite classic of an overworked high school student, and this librarian with a read list a mile long. I'm also a big fan of Christmas, and Christmas special, and books about Christmas. I admit that I've never been a big fan of Dickens's more works. In high school we read Great Expectations and I remember very little, except that it was particularly hard to follow, which kind of turned me away from everything he had written for a while. But a few years ago I decided to give a Christmas carol a chance and it became one of my favorite books. The language That Dickens used is unlike anything we use in everyday communication in 2014. Never has Tiny Tim ever lol, and none of the ghosts will ever smh Scrooge and his ignorance. Honestly, I can see how difficult it can be for some to sit down and read page after page of the lengthy descriptions Of the Dickens used-after-all, we want to get to the meat of ghost stories and a grumpy old man learning to appreciate kindness and friendship for money, but when we don't have the time to read what Dickens has written he draws some amazing images in our heads. Take the opening lines: Marley was dead: for starters. As for the first lines in the book to go, that one is damn good.

  • The Man Who Invented Christmas Film Adaptations of Dickens’ a Christmas Carol Dr Christine Corton
    10TH DECEMBER 2019 The Man Who Invented Christmas Film Adaptations of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol Dr Christine Corton A Christmas Carol is now over 175 years old. Written in 1843, it is certainly the most televised of Dickens’s works and equals if not beats, its closest rival, Oliver Twist (1837-39) for cinema releases. It’s had a huge influence on the way we understand the Christmas festival. It was written at a time when the festival was being revived after centuries of neglect. And its impact was almost immediate. A Christmas Carol quickly achieved iconic status, far more so than any of Dickens’s other Christmas stories. You have to have been living on some far-off planet not to have heard of the story – the word ‘Scrooge’ has come to represent miserliness and ‘Bah, Humbug’ is a phrase often resorted to when indicating someone is a curmudgeon. Even, Field Marshall Montgomery concluded his Christmas Eve message to the Eighth Army on the battlefield with Tiny Tim’s blessing. In 1836 Dickens described Christmas at Dingley Dell in The Pickwick Papers in which of course one of the most famous of the interpolated tales appears, The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton and for those who know the tale, the miserable and mean Gabriel Grub is not a million miles away from Scrooge. Both Mr Pickwick’s Christmas at Wardle’s (1901) and Gabriel Grub: The Surly Sexton (1904) were used as the basis for silent films at around the same time as the first silent version of the 11 minute long: Scrooge: Or Marley’s Ghost which was released in 1901.

  • By Charles Dickens, Adapted by Romulus Linney a Christmas Carol
    By Charles Dickens, Adapted by Romulus Linney A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London in 1843. The novella met with instant success and critical acclaim. A Christmas Carol tells the story of a bitter old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation into a gentler, kindlier man after visitations by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. The book was written at a time when the British were examining and exploring Christmas traditions from the past as well as new customs such as Christmas cards and Christmas trees. Carol singing took a new lease on life during this time. Dickens' sources for the tale appear to be many and varied, but are, principally, the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales. Dickens' A Christmas Carol was one of the greatest influences in rejuvenating the old Christmas traditions of England, but, while it brings to the reader images of light, joy, warmth and life, it also brings strong and unforgettable images of darkness, despair, coldness, sadness, and death. Scrooge himself is the embodiment of winter, and, just as winter is followed by spring and the renewal of life, so too is Scrooge's cold, pinched heart restored to the innocent goodwill he had known in his childhood and youth. A Christmas Carol remains popular—having never been out of print—and has been adapted many times to film, stage, opera, and other media.

Guildhall Museum Rochester @Guildhallmuseum Ebenezer Scrooge from the novella A Christmas Carol (published 1843) Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grind-stone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. From the moment it was published, A Christmas Michael Horden, Albert Finney, not to mention Carol was a hit with audiences, and has been Syd James (Carry On Christmas Specials), Michael ever since.
