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

The Christmas Carol explains in a creative effective way for you to be happy, nice and giving person.. Scrooge’s doesn’t want to end with the chains weighing him down for eternity like Marley so he has to change his way that he is living his life. By analyzing Scrooge’s Transformation, Childhood Innocence, and Social Justice; it becomes clear that without these three themes the book would not have the same outcome or meaning.

Scrooge is an overly grumpy, greedy, curmudgeon, mild, insensitive, thoughtless, dolorous, elderly man who lives in a house all by himself. He has silver, gray hair, a pointed nose, and wiry chin. He acts like a harsh, miserable, lonely, gloomy, and depressed fellow. He also was very unfriendly to those young fellows who were trying to gather donations for the poor. When Scrooge was younger, he was actually very kind and generous to the people around him. Scrooge is very inconsiderate of others, and according to the text on page one, stave one it said that “ No wind blew was bitterer than he”, and he was a person who did not believe in the Christmas spirit until a trio of ghosts shows him his past, present, and future.

The text explicitly states Scrooge, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, clutching, covetous, old sinner has passed away. According to the text, he despises many things such as happiness, humor, and even Christmas. From the reading, I know that he is depressed all the time, consequently his mental state has led him to call other people stupid, dumb, and idiots. On page three, in the conversation with his nephew Fred, Scrooge insults his nephew about marrying and loving his wife. The text states, that he also “seized the ruler with such energy of action, that the singer fled in terror, leaving the keyhole to the frost and even more congenial frost.” From the reading I know that Scrooge isn’t a people person and is very down about life. Based on the text he doesn’t really like being around them. For example Scrooge didn’t donate any money to the poor, and blew off his nephew about spending Christmas with them. In the text it states that there is no wind as bare as Scrooge, this means he doesn't really care or doesn't have many feelings.

Scrooge lost his companionship with other humans. Through all of the struggles that these people are faced with on a day to day biases, at the end of the day, they have each other. Companionship helps these people cope with the pain of everyday life and its struggles. The miners, lighthouse keepers, sailors, and to an end, a great percentage of the population, understand that Christmas is a time for joy, happiness, and love. Christmas is a time in which people come together despite their own personal problems to bring happiness and joy to each other through companionship. With all of Scrooges wealth and security, he has lost all companionship with others; furthermore, losing a part of his humanity. At the beginning of “A Christmas Carol”, Scrooges

people like Cratchet’s family suffer, and he feels like, thanks to him, there is no happiness. In the

The film adaptation of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, has led a life of greed and selfishness due to his circumstances as a child. His contemptuous and derisive attitude toward others often renders him the outcast of the town in which he lives in. On many occasions he proves himself to be uncharitable and unwilling to be lenient to give Bob Cratchit, a abused and underpaid man who works for Scrooge, any extra time off or pay on Christmas. When the two business owners came by Scrooge’s workplace to ask for money to donate to charity, he profusely refused their efforts to get him to provide any and shooed them away. All of these qualities only added to his negative social standing. People feared him and often avoided him due to his pessimistic demeanor. Even with this attitude, characters Bob Cratchit and Fred, who is Scrooge’s nephew, take pity on him and want the best for him because they can empathise with him. When Mrs. Cratchit starts to praise Scrooge in a negative light, Bob strays away from the subject and wills the subject to drop because it was Christmas, and people should be thankful for what they have. Another instance is when the Ghost of Christmas Present showed him Fred talking to the rest of his family, and despite after making fun of him, he chose to cheer to him in his honor. This is because he forgave Scrooge for his actions due to the fact that he pitied him and

The next spirit that came to visit scrooge is the ghost of christmas present.

The spirit shows Scrooge that the little boy will die if the shadows remain unaltered. Within an instant Scrooge got scared and yelled as he was scared “NO NO NO OH NO!! Oh kind spirit say he will be spared free. When the spirit leaves scrooge has a Christmas spirit an is all happy. People dont hate Scrooge like they did before because of the impact the spirits did to

ln his life what he finds content with is material items such as money and wealth. He would rather be alone and cut people out from his own life and any association with his family and friends. That's why he lives a cold and dark life. But the Ghost Of Christmas Presents shows him the loving joyful side of life and evokes peace inside Scrooges heart. You can quickly sum up The Ghost Of Christmas present by this quote "free as its genial face, its sparkling eye,its open hand, its cheery voice". This quote gives a true depiction of how gleeful and cheerful the Ghost Of Christmas Present is and how he would change Scrooges life for the better. The Ghost Of Christmas Yet to come represents consequence and the slippery slope of the path that Scrooge is in if he is still living in the same path and making the same decisions. The Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come also represents heaven and hell and overall symbolizes death and shows Scrooge the consequence of his action and the repercussion he'll have if he's still living in the same wrong path. He brings fear and intimidation to Scrooge and shows Scrooge his consequence and

He sees that he is jeopardizing his relationship with his nephew and with the community as a whole. As soon as he returns from his eventful journey, Scrooge buys the Cratchit family the biggest turkey available, which reaffirms his vow and makes apparent his new found generosity. He then humbles himself and comes to his nephew’s house, where for the first in a long time, Scrooge shows genuine happiness. The next morning, he surprises Bob Cratchit with a raise and continues to give much support to his family, especially Tiny Tim. These acts of kindness and generosity show how much Scrooge has truly

Sometimes in life we don't realize the significance of events until it is in the past and too late. In the preliminary stave of a Christmas carol, by Charles Dickens, we are introduced to a character known as Ebenezer Scrooge. Ebenezer Scrooge is a character that has to learn the true spirit of Christmas, facing his cruel attitude towards other human beings and reforming himself to become a warm- hearted, loving and generous person. We are shown many different personalities of Scrooge throughout the first stave, thus giving us a clear picture in out head of what Scrooge possibly is like.

Scrooge is a hard, cold miser who spends his days counting his profits and wishing the world would leave him alone. He doesn't believe in charity, and he is certain that those who do are just lazy bums looking for a handout. Scrooge's entire life is his business and he shuts out his nephew who is the only relative he has. But Scrooge is visited by his old business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him that if he continues to live his life in such an unchristian way, he will spend all eternity trying to make up for it. Three ghosts, who show him that the errors of his ways, visit Scrooge. Because of what he sees and learns, Scrooge opens his heart to the people around him and learns charity and love and saves himself from the doom of which Marley

No ghost and no sound. A bright light hits scrooge. He follows it to the next room and sees the ghost from Christmas present. He tells scrooge to touch his robe. They ended up in the city on Christmas morning. Then the spirit takes him to the home of Bob Crachit's house where he gets to see the family and how hard I is for them to live a poor life. There Christmas feast was merely anything for them to feast on with the little they had. The spirit informs scrooge that even though the family celebrates with contempt one of those chairs will be open next year. He takes him to many other houses in the community to see what Christmas is like to other families. He also shows him two starving children ignorance and want. The ghost takes scrooge back and yet again once more the clock strikes

. . Scrooge doesn't want to spend an extra cent even on heating, another circumstance I read from the text is his nephew bursts in and says, “La-la-la, Merry Christmas!” Scrooge says, “Bah! Humbug!” The over the hill Penny Pincher doesn't want to manufacture a killing and get up and go to a Christmas dinner with his nephew; his afterthought is sorrowful, he doesn’t think that Christmas is a requirement. Scrooge doesn't know what the point of Christmas is, the point of Christmas is to celebrate Jesus’ birthday, he also is unquestionable disrespectful because he calls everyone else an idiot and jerk for not being depressed, Scrooge thinks others have to fill down and depressed because he is. Scrooge thinks he has no choice to manage other people around him for the reason that, they don't do or say what he is
