The Ghost Of Scrooge In A Christmas Carol

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,

Using the first spirit, Scrooge was forced to face the fact that people viewed him as greedy and selfish, and began to open him up to the fact that he needs to change. The second spirit, The Ghost of Christmas Present, arrived and took Scrooge to the home of a worker of his, Bob Cratchit. It showed the family content, despite barely getting by. When Scrooge saw Bob’s sick son, he began to show worry that he would not survive. When the spirit told him that the son would not make it to next Christmas, this made Scrooge want to help him. This kind of emotion was unlike him, showing that he was changing (CC40). The spirit then took him to several other Christmas gatherings, where he enjoyed himself and played many games, even though he was merely in a dream. This spirit was used to open up Scrooge and showed his inner want to be around people. These thoughts for Scrooge were different than his from the beginning of the novel, showing that the spirits were being used to teach valuable lessons to Scrooge. The final spirit arrived, but would not answer when asked if he was the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Scrooge plead with the ghost to share his lesson with him, fearful of becoming like Marley (CC51). The silent spirit took Scrooge to a series of strange places, showing people discussing the death of a dead rich man. He then began to understand the

As a result of seeing this and other memories, Scrooge has become a more loving and catering person. Finally, after he encountered the Ghost of Christmas Future, he became a great person at last. The spirit shows the former miser Scrooge his gravestone. The memory is important because Scrooge understands what he must do which is be kind to all man and

As Scrooge and the Spirit pass through his childhood, Scrooge sees himself as a young boy again, as a result of these visions, he confesses to the Spirit that he should have given the kid that was caroling earlier in the evening a few extra coins. The Spirit then takes him to the time where Scrooge’s little sister goes to the boarding school and gets Scrooge after his father has redeemed himself of his angry ways. Scrooge’s sister, then ends up dying and he discovers his nephew who he never knew existed. Scrooge told the Spirit to remove him from this place and the Spirit said, “I told you these were shadows of things that have been. That they are what they are, do not blame me!”

Scrooge is the main character in the story “A Christmas Carol”. Scrooge is a bitter old man that is unfair, plaintive unlikable, nihilist well as very rude. Moreover, Scrooge doesn't like anything that involves happiness, generosity, including most of all, Christmas. Consequently, his dead business partner’s ghost comes and warns him that three different ghosts will try to help him recover his old and peaceful self.. Scrooge’s experience felt fancied. On page one of the first passage one it says “ Scrooge is the grumpiest grump that ever .” In the text, it said “ Scrooge makes him leave (his nephew) but not before he insults his marriage because it is based on love.”I think that is a very excellent reason to back up that he is a very mean and

Based on what I read, Scrooge is a tight fisted-hand at the grindstone. As a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching covetous old sinner, his reputation in the community is perceived as a ill-mannered man. According to the text, Scrooge is hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel has ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. In the text it states that, “Scrooge’s appearance is topped with his frosty rime on his head and his eyebrows makes him appear shrewd and cold.” Scrooge pronounce “What’s Christmas time to you but 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 everything.

Ebenezer Scrooge is an important character depicted in the play A Christmas Carol. He wears dark color clothing and is very skinny. Scrooge is always unhappy since the death of his partner Marley. He also neglect the poor and only thinks about himself. When the ghost of christmas past come and christmas future, he takes scrooge to his past and future self.

Which ghost do you feel was the most influential? I think the future ghost for sure, and why do you feel this ghost had a bigger impact on scrooge? Because he shows him things that need to affect him and he told the ghost from the future that he will change because he seen he died mean, and he does not want to be like that when he dies. This story is about a man who hated Christmas and Past, Present, and Future of the Christmas ghost help him, and who influence him the most.

After the exit of the final spirit, Scrooge emerges a changed man. He was a man who thought money was everything, who thought Christmas was just an excuse for picking a man’s pocket, and who thought poor people shouldn’t deserve a donation. Now he is a man who spreads Christmas cheer, buys huge birds as presents, and raises his clerk's salary. Scrooge shows change as the Spirit of Christmas Present takes him to his colleague(the Cratchit’s) house When Scrooge sees how positive Tiny Tim is being in the condition this leads him to say ”Oh, please spirit say he’ll be spared”(page 9, stave III). The previous quote shows that Scrooge has developed empathy towards others. Scrooge again shows change when the Spirit of Christmas Future takes Scrooge takes him to a cemetery, Scrooge goes to the tombstone nearest to him scrubs off the snow, and sees it’s his, Scrooge wanting to avoid this says ”I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

Scrooge is evil, rotten, and greedy. His deceased friend, Marley noticed this and sent him the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. They make Scrooge relive his saddest moments, like seeing his sister again before she died, and losing the woman that he loved, that might have a part in why he is, like he is, now. They also show him the stuff around him, like his employee’s son, Tiny Tim, being sick and saying that he is not going to make it. Then to top it off, future shows him his grave and some weird lady insulting him after he is died.

Have you ever been haunted by spirits? That was something that happened to Scrooge. Scrooge was haunted by three spirits because he did not believe in Christmas. The three spirits were Of the Past, Of the Present, and Of the Future. After Scrooge was reminded of all the good and bad memories of his life, he changed his life and celebrated Christmas

It starts out with Jacob Marley’s ghost telling the audience about Scrooge. After Marley vanishes, it shows Scrooge at work. When Scrooge’s nephew came by to wish him and Bob Cratchit a merry Christmas, Scrooge then calls Christmas a Bah Humbug! (Dickens 3) At his house, Scrooge gets haunted by Jacob Marley, telling him to shape up. He then, like the movie, that he will be haunted by three more ghosts, for his welfare. The first ghost , unlike the movie,visits four places with Scrooge. After the Spirit is finished with Scrooge, he takes Scrooge back to his home. After he has slept for a while, Marley comes gives Scrooge a lecture. After Marley, the Spirit of Christmas Present takes Marley’s place. With Present, they visit three places, similar to the movie. When Present is finished with Scrooge, the very last spirit comes, the one Scrooge was most dreading, the spirit of Christmas future. In the same way as the movie, the spirit of Christmas future shows Scrooge horrifying possibilities for the future. After that terrifying experience for Scrooge, he wakes up on Christmas day, and then changes his ways immediately. He sees a young boy and tells to go get the butcher with the prize turkey. He gives the boy some money, and then tells the butcher to give the turkey to Bob Cratchit, and he wanted to be an anonymous giver. (Dickens 33) Scrooge was a changed man for the better in the

In the next part of the story, the first ghost appears and goes by the name “ The Ghost Of Christmas Past” and the significance of this ghost is to show Scrooge his past at Christmas time and how he acted and who he was with. Based on what I read, Scrooge doesn’t understand why the ghost is visiting him and as a matter of fact does not enjoy his visit. The spirit showed Scrooge, three shadows and he did not want to catch sight of them, comparatively, when he initiated to show him the third shadow Scrooge said “ No more! No more, I don't wish to see it! Show me no more!” and then the text says that the relentless ghost pinioned him in both arms, and forced him to observe what happened next. The shadow the spirit showed Scrooge was a young boy who sits alone, neglected from his friends. From the reading I know that Scrooge truly does not enjoy

From Stave, 3 what I learned is that Scrooge is becoming a big softie or, he's getting nicer, one of those. But also that when he sees Tiny Tim all weak and sick that he actually cares for them, he then asks the Spirit, if Tiny Tim will survive, the Spirit just says “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.” Scrooge then hangs his head (Not actually hang, he more like bows his head) in grief after the Spirit recites what Scrooge had said before. Then Scrooge and the ghost move on to another house, his nephew’s house to be exact, and they watch as Fred’s (His nephew) family and his wife’s family eat, drink, sing and

When the ghost make it's appearance the first thing it shows is three weahtly making light of a recent death remaking that it will be a cheap it any comes at all. scrooge ask the ghost to the show anyone who feels any emotion one of the man's ghost. Scrooge ask the ghost to show anyone who feels any emotion over the man's death. The spirit when shows scrooge the man tombstone which means scrooge name. He felt horrible when his wife had died and the rest of the people felt bad and sad to.
