How Does Scrooge Change

Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a moral tale that depicts the protagonist’s Ebenezer Scrooge’s moral journey from selfishness to redemption. It can be seen that his new found way of life is derived from the desire to be a good man of the community and to assist others such as Tiny Tim. The idea of Scrooge’s transformation not being selfish can also be seen in his aspiration to contribute to the wider community that suffers from a poverty stricken way of life. In addition to this, Scrooge also reforms his way of life in order to feel love and care from family, which satisfied his nephew Fred aswell as himself. However, this selflessness is only to an

I say it on my knees, old Jacob; on my knees!” (Dickens 160) Which could be taken as that Scrooge now believes in God or that his faith has been renewed. Also in the book Scrooge is said to became a good friend, master and a good mas as the old city knew, and while some laughed at him he payed no heed for he thought that as they were laughing it all was fine. This show that Scrooge has changed and become a better person.

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

In 'A Christmas Carol', Dickens represents Scrooge as a 'squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner' who is against Christmas and happiness and values money, yet given a chance to redeem his fate. Marley's Ghost has come to warn Scrooge to change

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.

The phrase 'no warmth could warm ,nor wintry weather chill him' really emphasises that him trying to warm himself at a fire would be useless because it would not work, which perhaps explains why he does not put his heating on in winter(besides his obsession for hoarding his money). This presents him as an outsider which is further highlighted in stave 1 when the narrator says that 'no one stopped him in the street to say ,my dear Scrooge how are you?', and even beggars and blind-men fear him and his presence. His harsh personality is shown when two gentlemen working for a charity ask him to donate to the 'poor and destitute', however he says 'are there no workhouses?' 'are there no prisons?', but the worker says that they 'would rather die' to which Scrooge responds with, 'then they had better do so and decrease the surplus population'. This selfishness ius what Dickens wanted to show his readers and that wealthy people need to help others to abolish social injustice in the Victorian

No warmth could warm, no wintry weather could chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon it’s purpose.” The author was saying nothing can change how he acts towards other people. Scrooge was a person who was always down, gloomy, and moody. For example on page one there is a description of him and it says, “ The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his lips blue and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin.” His wrinkled, aged, rough appearance reflects his inner feelings. According to the text, “Scrooge carried his own low temperature everywhere he went.” Scrooge’s demeanor was always low.
