Dickens asks, in effect, for people to recognise the plight of those whom the Industrial Revolution has displaced and driven into poverty, and the obligation of society to provide for them humanely. Failure to do so, the writer implies through the personification of Ignorance and Want as ghastly children, will result in an unnamed "Doom" for those who, like Scrooge, believe their wealth and status qualifies them to sit in judgement of the poor rather than to assist them.[53]

Well they haven't finished yet. I'm sure there will be loads to analyse and speculate on once the opening ritual......er....I mean ceremony has taken place.
What is slightly odd is there is no trace of a chimney or a 'giant figure with a wand' or beds in the model that they presented recently. Maybe the whole thing moves about and changes in to the green country side set.

I'm guessing the wand will make something happen for sure. I'm also guessing that the giant figure is the magician Prospero from the Tempest, Danny Boyle has said he based stuff on the play. In the play he apparently controls various people, a monster and an elemental spirit with his magic.
