How Does Scrooge Change

Through the visitations of the three spirits, Dickens reveals feelings in Scrooge that have been repressed, which facilitates Scrooge’s change. The ghost of Marley warns Scrooge “You will be haunted by Three Spirits” The spirits are used by Dickens to take Scrooge through a journey of self-discovery and ultimately transformation.

Scrooge began his transformation into a good man when the Ghost of Christmas present shows him the Cratchit household. Scrooge throughout this scene is presented with the consequences of his actions and how they affect those who are less fortunate than he. “Think of that. Bob had but fifteen bob a-week himself; he pocketed on Saturdays but fifteen copies of his Christian name; and yet the Ghost of

changes and cares about other things. Scrooge is a dynamic character. These are reasons why

Scrooge struggles to learn a lesson and insists the ghost to tell him who the dead man was and becomes horrified when he realizes it is himself and asks for redemption as he 'will not be the man [he] must have been for this intercourse', thus realizing that he still has a chance to change his fate.

Scrooge is a very mean person and he doesn't care for anyone, he will be an old miser and he could care less about anything in the world except himself.He does mean stuff all the time liked decline charity and he doesn't even wanna make the world a better place.He even declined his nephews invite to a Christmas party now that's mean and when he's asked to donate for charity he is too much of a greedy soul to do anything to help anyone and he says that they need to go to a workhouse or prison, He doesn't care about anyone and he ignores everyone and could care less about the world's problems. He thinks that that is ok and then he gets a visit from a ghost saying that three ghosts are gonna come get him and that he shouldn't have been that greedy and he is gonna get a visit from them. Scrooge is freaking out and it takes him a while and he eventually gets sent to bed. In my opinion, though he is acting like that because Marley died and he is emotionally depressed and he takes his pain out on others because he is very said that's just my opinion.

On page 23-24 of A Christmas Carol it states, “‘Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence was my business. The dealing of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensible ocean of my business!’” This shows me how Marley explaining what the true meaning of “business” was, was the first step to helping Scrooge participate in this business rather than his interpretation of business. After being visited by the Spirits, Scrooge does start living by the true meaning and is happier than ever. As it states on page 114 of A Christmas Carol, “‘I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school boy, I am as giddy as a drunken man.’” This shows me how once the true meaning went into Scrooge’s heart he became free of his greed and very happy with himself and his

Title: Change in A Christmas carol Change can either be good or bad depending on what the change is. In Scrooge And Marley: A Christmas carol, Scrooge is sent three ghosts from Jacob Marley that helps him change. After being reformed by the spirits of Christmas Scrooge becomes friendly, nice, generous, considerate, and an all around great person. First, The Ghost of Christmas Present retaught Scrooge the generosity and respect he had to know long ago. The spirit had shown Scrooge when his old boss Fizziwig through an enormous party.

Change molds us in life and makes a deciding impact in our future. In A Christmas Carol, three spirits visit Scrooge for the better. Scrooge’s character transforms to be grateful, generous, and kind.

Throughout “A Christmas Carol” Scrooge was a really mean, hateful, selfish mister, I felt like he would never change, he was a man you wouldn’t want to hang out with. Scrooge became, to me the worse guy and the most selfish. Then, Scrooge went from being a hateful mister to a genuinely good person. He, was visited by The Ghosts Of Christmas Past, then Present, and lastly by Future. The Ghost Of Christmas Past visited Scrooge.

Ebenezer Scrooge was a slave to his desire for wealth would be an understatement. His very innate being was controlled by this one all consuming want, and it infected and ruined every relationship he was ever part of. However, Mr. Scrooge isn’t remembered necessarily for his greed, rather he’s remembered for his drastic change at the end of the novel. In the beginning of the novel when Mr. Scrooge is approached by two gentleman in order to make a Christmas donation Scrooge says that, “If they would rather die they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population”(11). Mr. Scrooge does not care about his fellow people, all he cares about is their cash. He is a foul and nasty character. However after being visited by three ghosts he starts to become a better person. His transition begins when the Ghost of Christmas Past shows him how he alienated his love and how he lost his sister as well. This starts to put a crack in his psyche and is the beginning of his transformation. Next he is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Present who shows him the awful conditions that his employee Bob Cratchit is suffering, no thanks to Scrooge. The fact that Mr. Cratchit’s son Tim may soon die because of him wears away at Scrooge’s facade of heartlessness even more, but the transition isn’t yet complete. Although he asks the Ghost of Christmas Present whether Tim Cratchit will live and is “overwhelmed with penitence and grief”(63), his despair at the young child’s

A Change for the Better Published in 1843 A Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens has withstood the test of time as a classic telling the story of Scrooge as he changes for the better. He is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, showing him his life in segments as this happens, he finds the good in himself and changes his ways. Scrooge has changed significantly throughout the text, specifically through his actions, thoughts, and dialogue. To begin, Scrooge changed through his actions. At first, Scrooge was a parsimonious, rapacious, and niggard person who was selfish and was to above himself to care about others and their needs.

I can tell this because in the beginning of the movie, Scrooge is narrated as a cold, selfish man who only cares about himself. While everyone else in the movie is jolly and full of happiness, he walks with a demeanor of a self composed person who wants nothing to do with anybody. Even though he is selfish, his worker still manages to deal with him and show him a bit of compassion. Scrooge does not care it for it one bit, its almost like talking to a wall. Try as he might though, he

But, as I know your promise is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful heart” (Dickens, 51). If it was not for the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, Scrooge would not have turned out to be the kindest man and Tiny Tim would have probably not lived. Now Scrooge is transformed into a new man and will never be a hateful, rude, cold-hearted, and covetous person ever

Scrooge, a dull, hateful hoary miser that is always grumpy, as well as miserable, doesn’t like anything to do with happiness or joy. According to the text, he has a frosty rime on his head, thin lips blue, And he spoke shrewdly in a grating voice. He has a pointed nose with shriveled cheeks. The text refers to him as “bitterer than any wind that blew and no warmth could warm, no wintry weather could chill him.” In the first part of the story, one night a ghost appears in his house, he turns out to be his deceased aged work partners ghost, Marley. According to the text, Scrooge questions Marley about why spirits walk the earth and why they are coming to him. Marley replies with “ It is required of every man, that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men and travel far and wide, and if that spirit does not do that while he is living he must do so after death. It is doomed to wander the world and witness what it cannot share, but might’ve shared on earth and turned to happiness!” Marley is saying that because the people did not enjoy the satisfactory possessions in life, they are forced to experience that after their death and to convince other people not repeat what he did. Marley tells him that he is doomed to wander through the world and witness what he did not share, but should have shared on earth and what he should have turned into happiness!

I can tell you that Scrooge sweeps over his own grave begging the spirit for chance to change his ways before awaking to find its Christmas morning. He immediately expends and become a model of generously and kindness he visits Fred and accepts his
