Scrooge And The Grinch

Alone with his dog Max on Mount Crumpit, poor Grinch hated the entire idea of all the Christmas bliss. He had a repugnance for all that participated in such holiday because of the countless rejections he received from the Whos as a child. Many Whos including the Mayor of Whoville himself would ridicule him for lack of better appearance making the Grinch feel remorseful and unfit for the Whos’ standards. For this reason, he stayed far, far away from the Whos and anything pertaining to them. No one quite realized the reasonings for the Grinch’s cold-hearted tendencies and rather just came to the conclusion that his heart was just two sizes too small. So the Whos continued on with the life and the holidays without any thought of the grumpy

Twas the night before Christmas, two creatures on trial, one who is cheap, and the other who is vile. The Grinch from Dr. Seuss’s, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol are head to head against each other to be the meanest this Christmas. The Grinch is a putrid green monster who lives up in a deep, dark cave, hating all cheer. Scrooge is a miser who hates all human life and never buys anything that’s not cheap. The Grinch is meaner because he goes down to Whoville, rips everything with holiday cheer away from the poor Whos, and doesn’t even care, he just smiles with hatred to Christmas. He does all this just for the fun of it.

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.

Today you will learn who the meanest Christmas Legend is of all time. From Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, it features a mean, green creature who lived atop a mountain next to Whoville; who cannot simply stand and abide by Christmas. While Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol features the nasty, dismal misanthrope who lived in London and thought Christmas was a waste of time. Therefore, this evidence proves that the Grinch is the meanest of them all.

Scrooge is a very angry, rude, unfriendly character. Scrooge’s cruel actions to most others are unkind, especially when it’s about Christmas. The bitterness drive in Scrooge against Christmas is very strong. Scrooge also hates things such as love, happiness, generosity, and regards them as irrational until such time that a rightful trio of ghosts came to set him right. Charles Dickens paints him as an old businessman, with a ring of frosty white hair on his head, a pointed nose, red eyes, thin eyebrows, and a wiry chin. He’s so cold inside, it makes his lips blue, the tip of his nose strawberry red. The book describes him as hard and sharp as flint, self-contained, and solitary like an oyster. He is also described as

Scrooge has changed because at first he was this really grumpy man who didn't like Christmas to being this kind man who started to like Christmas all over again and started being really kind to the town people.

A Christmas Carol is about a man who is very greedy but, throughout the story he changes and i'm going to tell you how. In Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol we can find a good example of how a person can change. Scrooge is full of hate and very cruel towards others, he doesn't have any respect for others around him.

A Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens is a novel that is intended to teach its reader the importance of treating each other other the way one would wish to treat you. There are many examples throughout the whole book that scrooge doesn’t treat people the way he wants to be treated. For instance, scrooge also had always hated christmas and the people who celebrated christmas. For example in the text he was talking to his nephew. “Then I live in such a world of fools as this Merry Christmas! Out upon merry Christmas. What's Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, but not an hour richer; a time for balancing your books and having every item in 'em through a round dozen of months presented dead against you? If I

Scrooge just wants to live alone and make money. Money is the only thing he cares about. But, there is one day he hates the most and that day is Christmas day. There is a night in which the spirit of his dead best friend and work partner visits him. The Grinch is a creepy, angry, green creature who loves to hate.

Scrooge is a symbol of the Victorian aristocracy who viewed the poor as a scourge upon the earth and thought the world would better if they died, as Scrooge alludes to in the Carol

The meaning Dr. Seuss implied was focused on the Grinch's materialism. As mentioned by you, the Grinch's "moralistic superego" was the reason for correcting the Grinch's actions (Wong). However, I propose the Grinch's hatred spanned from his focus on materialism, which ultimately distracted him from the true meaning of Christmas.

Sigmund Freud believed that personality consists of three parts: the id, which is motivated by desire and looks for immediate satisfaction; the ego, which deals with rational decisions; and the superego, which makes moral judgments (Acacio). This is psychoanalysis, which can be used to analyze The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. According to Freud, the mind consists of only the id when we grow up. As we age, we transform part of the id into the ego and superego (Acacio). In the case of the Grinch, he grew up in a situation where, due to his isolation, he had no one to guide, reprimand, or praise him. He had no influences in his life. In the poem, there is a line that states, “It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.” (Seuss

Based on what I read, Scrooge sounds like a old grumpy, greedy, mean man. The text states, that he grumpy and very hard to handle. Also according to the text, he doesn't really care about a lot of stuff like Christmas cause he does not get the point of Christmas. On page 1 shows how how was mean, cause a guy shows up asking for any donations for the poor, but Scrooge tells them to go stuff it, and argues that anyone who is poor can either go to jail , go to the workhouse cause he does not believe in the poor. Until three ghosts are coming cause Marley (one of Scrooge's business partners and friends cause she was a lonely fellow) comes in an reveals a couple things, “Ghosts of terrible people have to endlessly work to make the world a better place”. When Marley and Scrooge meet the freaks out , but stills manages to smart-mouth the ghost horror for a while. When the ghosts leaves Scrooge tries to shake the whole experience off, finds that he can’t, and just instead just goes to sleep.

Scrooge! He is a whale of a grouchy person who despises Christmas. Based on the passage, it says “Does not need to spend an extra cent on anything! Therefore, this show’s he is indeed omnivorous and astringent. Another sentence from the text show’s “If Scrooge sees anyone singing a Christmas carol he will whack them in the face as forceful as he can” this also shows he is tight fisted and harsh. People around him sees him as an isolated,harsh,selfish scarce and greedy character. The text started with his best acquaintance Marley was dead on Christmas eve. Marley was not just a friend, but a business partner. Since his partner died near Christmas, time, Scrooge is even extra irrational during Christmas time. Scrooge’s biggest catchphrase is BAH HUMBUG! Furthermore, this, is one text evidence on why Scrooge hates Christmas! All of this confirmation sites on why Scrooge is a grouchy,harsh,omnivorous,selfish and hates Christmas!
