In the beginning of the passage Scrooge meets the Ghost of Christmas Past, and shows Scrooge when he was a little boy. He starts to tear up when he sees himself, but denied that he ever cried. Scrooge starts to feel bad for his partner Marley because he was mean to him all those times. He wish he would have

In the beginning of the Christmas Carol Scrooge was an old man who didn’t like Christmas, but toward the end he was happy with his friends and family. He has changed much by the ghost that had helped him realize that if he kept going the way he was going that the future was going to be horrible,

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', Charles Dickens represents Scrooge as an unsympathetic man who is offered the opportunity to redeem himself. Through use of language, the reader is positioned to view him adversely, but during the journey of morality lessons shown by three spirits, Scrooge recovers his sense of joy by undergoing a significant transformation. Scrooge seeks redemption through the many lessons taught by the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.

In the play, A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley by Israel Horovitz the main character Scrooge is a cold-hearted miser who despises Christmas and people. At the beginning, he shows very different and mean actions towards people and how he is always mad. For example when Scrooge leaves his office's people start to walk past him in a happy and merry mood. But in contrast to the people, Scrooge has a frown and looks unhappy for the Christmas time. Another example is that when his nephew is talking to him he is wanting him to leave so he keeps on repeating the words, “Good Afternoon!” until he leaves. The last example would be that when Cratchit is cold in the office, Scrooge starts yelling at him saying that he would fire him because he was showing he was cold. Scrooge also shows it in his own words by saying “...every idiot who goes about with “Merry Christmas” on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.”(647).

But Scrooge is not very content to see him, he wants to know where he’s gonna take him. As the ghost takes him to where they need to go they move to the big city and it looks like that somebody died, it states in the text that a man recited I don’t know all that I know is that he’s dead.It also

In Stave III of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge confronts the Ghost of Christmas Present for supposedly wanting businesses closed on the Sabbath. As a result, the text shifts from its secularized nature into a more religious tone. This change signifies that another transformation is taking place; Scrooge’s attitude and presence is becoming more ideal to the other individuals in the text. However, in Dickens’s efforts of implying that Scrooge is improving his holiday spirit, the text also implies that Scrooge is not a spiritual individual towards the beginning of the story. On the other hand, Scrooge agrees to remember the Ghost of Christmas Present’s statement, which represents Scrooge giving himself to a higher power. Dickens protest of the Anglican

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

He then realizes how important they are to one other and how strong their connections to eachother are, and how devasting it would be if Tiny Tim would become sicker or even die. After visting the Cratchits he then, travls to Freds. Where his friends gather to celebrate the holidays through, eating, drinking, listing to music, andplaying games. Scrooge then starts to enjoy the celebration. When this type of music sounded through his head, all the living things that ghost told him ran through his head. He softened more and more; and thought that if he could have listened to it often, years ago, he might have cultivated the kindnesses of life for his own happiness with his own hands. This shows that, Sccrooge hasbegun to relax and enjoy the merriment, and that he is even considering how his life might be different had he cultivated kindness instead of focusing on making money. Through Scrooge's change at heart this shows that people should focus , more on impacting eachothers lives , and having a meaningful relationships with others, becasue is brings more happiness, then wealth and

He is reminded what it is like to be poor and how to show empathy when he is shown Bob Cratchit’s house. The text states “Spirit,” said Scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, “Tell me if Tiny Tim will live” (Dickens, 30). Scrooge’s character has changed as a result of The Ghost of Christmas Present because he begins to feel worried over Bob’s family and his little son. Previous to the ghosts’ visit, Scrooge had no empathy to give and could not have cared less about anyone

This quote shows how Scrooge feels bad for previously being mean to the boy singing outside his house. Another quote from the text, (Act II, Scene 3, Paragraph 55 and 57) Scrooge states, “Scrooge:Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live. Present: I see a vacant seat... in the poor chimney corner and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, the child will die.

People can change by making better choices and learning from their mistakes. In A Christmas Carol, the main character named Scrooge makes some really bad decisions. He is always mean to everybody, even the people who work for him and help him. At the end of the story, Scrooge makes some big changes with some help.

The Ghost of Christmas Present answers Scrooge’s question of Tiny Tim being alive or not later on, and the ghost shows and tells Scrooge that Tiny Tim may die. This memory is important because it causes Scrooge to become thoughtful because he has faith and hope for Tiny Tim. At the bottom of page 271, it says that Scrooge wants Tiny Tim to be spared and that he wants him to live and that he misses and loves him which shows thoughtfulness. This shows Scrooge has changed because Scrooge is worried and being worried for someone and not wanting them to die shows thoughtfulness. The character trait thoughtfulness adapts to Scrooge which changes him for the

Scrooge is a very miserable and despondent person that despises happy things such as Christmas. The text states he was a tight fisted hand at the grindstone. It also refers to him as an “old sinner”.
