Moreover, he delivers it to the cratchits. Our narrator was right, ordinarily, narrators are right. Nevertheless Scrooge was gleeful and overjoyed once more! Scrooge locates the man asking for donations that he cruelly turned down that night, gave him a great wad of funds and requested a chat later. Church was a thing that Scrooge was unlikely to do and so waspating children on the head and even talking to beggars nevertheless Scrooge was not his ordinary self that day and he did all of the sort.

This showed him that being pleasant and kind pays off. The spirit then shows Scrooge another part of his past, where his wife
In the beginning of the play in spite of being selfish Scrooge is also cheap, cold-hearted, and cruel. Scrooge behaves in this manner to his nephew, Fred. One way of proving this is when Fred said “Merry Christmas.” Scrooge replied salty saying “Humbug Christmas is just a time for spending and wasting money.” Not only he treats Fred badly but many more people. For instance take one of his quotes towards the Gentleman Visitor, “Are there no Jails for the poor, are there no
In the play, Mr. Scrooge is a greedy man who thinks Christmas is “Bah Humbug!” (Dickens 3). His family has always wanted him to join them for a Christmas feast, but Mr. Scrooge has never wanted anything to do with Christmas. Marley, Mr. Scrooge’s old business partner, didn’t want Mr. Scrooge to end up like him with chains of greed attached to him when he died, so he sent Mr. Scrooge three spirits: Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Those three spirits visited each day to haunt him about his Christmases. Eventually, he traveled with two of the three spirits, but when the spirit of Christmas Future arrived, Mr. Scrooge realized that he would die in a few years. Ebenezer begged for mercy and promised to celebrate Christmas with joy and festivity. (Dickens 7-32) After the haunting with the spirits, Mr. Scrooge woke up and asked a boy what day it was. When the little boy, Adam, replied that it was Christmas, he ordered the boy
Scrooge is just a normal guy who went to border school when he was a kid. He didn’t spend to much time with his family. He only got to see them on Holidays. Now, he is a grumpy old man.
Little did Ebenezer Scrooge know, this was going to be the kickoff to a substantial journey on his night of Christmas Eve. The ghost of Christmas past had the appearance similar to a child, yet it had some characteristics comparable to a lit candle. This ghost took Scrooge to all of his most painful memories leading up to his present day position. After brief reminders of these incidents, Scrooge started to get melancholy. Events from his schooldays, his engagement, and even his happy apprenticeship with his former boss Fezziwig provided enough insight for the main character to visit his childhood. Scrooge then got an unexpected visit from the ghost of Christmas Present. He took the display of a gigantic man, dressed in a green robe. This ghost helped provide an insight for Scrooge on what his acquaintances were doing on Christmas Eve night. Bob Cratchit, had a dinner with his family and could barely afford any food due to his low wage from Scrooge. Lastly, Ebenezer received a visitation from the ghost of Christmas yet to come. The ghost was strictly straightforward with Scrooge’s future if he kept acting similar to what he did. The three ghosts provided a prolonged climax to the story, giving Ebenezer a direct turning point in his actions and beliefs. He had adjusted to not making
The novel introduces Scrooge as a man of greed. This is shown in the first stave when Scrooge's clerk Bob Cratchit can barely keep warm by such a small fire "that it looked like one coal." Because of Scrooge's greed, he insists on storing up on his wealth by burning less coal, despite it's lack of warmth. Furthermore, one can notice Scrooge's greed as he refuses to give any donation from his surplus wealth to the poor and destitute that the collectors were raising money for. Scrooge's selfish response to the collectors was, " 'I wish to be left alone...I don't make merry myself at Christmas, and I can't afford to make idle people merry..."

He is taken to the streets of his town. Scrooge sees three businessmen discussing his funeral. They say that they thought he would never die. They also say that they will only go to his funeral if there is food there, but if there is no food they don't plan on attending. Nor, do they even think that there will be a funeral because there will be no one willing to pay for it because he was such an awful person. Scrooge is unable to put two and two together to figure out that this was what was going to happen to him. He thought that they were talking about his ex business partner, James Marley. Next, Scrooge sees people discussing things that they would want to sell for money. They then begin discussing how they had taken it off dead Scrooge’s body after he had died. They explain how they had taken the very clothes he was wearing right off of his back and just left him there. They took everything they thought they could make money off of. Scrooge, while watching the scene, realizes that this is an awful thing to happen to someone, but still does not understand that it is him that they are talking about. Finally, Scrooge is taken to his grave with the Ghost Of Christmas Future. The ghost points at the grave and gestures for him to get in it. Scrooge pleads, and pleads with the spirit to allow him to live, and after a while of begging, the ghost shakes a little bit and puts his finger down. “Spirit, this is a
"At one of these a lonely boy was reading near a feeble fire; and Scrooge sat down upon a form, and wept to see his poor forgotten self as he had used to be." (38).
During the story, Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts from Christmas past, present, and future, who shows the ill-tempered Scrooge how to be feel compassion towards others human beings. A large quantity of the story revolves around money, and it plays a large role, to contrast how generosity is viewed in society. Scrooge is incredibly wealthy, as he lives a l...
After Fred leaves, two gentlemen come to Scrooge and ask for money for the poor. His response is, "Are there no prisons? And the union workhouses? Are they still in operation?" One of the gentlemen replies, "They are. Still, I wish I could say they were not." Scrooge's remark shows that he doesn't care about poor people. He does not care if they live or die, just as long as he is comfortable. The two gentlemen are shocked by this.
...t, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within [him]." With this still resonating in his mind, he jumps out of bed and immediately begins setting things right. He buys a turkey bigger than Bob Cratchit's son and sends it to him, and instead of being rude to the Poulterer, he pays for a cab to get them to Cratchit's home. He then goes out with joy in his heart and bumps into a man who asked him to donate money to the poor the day before. As opposed to being unkind and cruel, the new and improved Scrooge donates a large sum of money to the cause happily. This kind, happy, and generous man is a complete change from the stingy and unkind Scrooge from Christmas Eve. If someone this awful can change, anyone and everyone can do the same. They just need a little push in the right direction.
According to the text, Scrooge is such a miser that when his partner, Jacob Marley passed away, he didn’t spend the money to change the business sign outside their production to reflect his partner’s death, instead he left the sign to swing alone mysteriously camouflaging Marley’s passing. In the reading, his nephew, Fred, comes to invite Scrooge to Christmas dinner with his family, Scrooge, in turn responds, “Bah! Humbug! The text describes Scrooge as a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone. Based on what I have read in the text, foreign heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge, he was a man whom felt no warmth or wintry climate, even the winds of the winter chill did not affect his inner self or his outermost surroundings. The text states that Scrooge is all head, no heart, a miserable, bitter old miser.
Which miraculously he does, Scrooge becomes kind. Here is a line after Scrooge tells the little boy to get the prize turkey,” I’ll send it to Bob Cratchit’s. He shan’t know who sends it. It’s twice the size of Tiny Tim and such a Christmas dinner it will make…”(272) Scrooge here buys the turkey for Bob Cratchit’s family to eat on Christmas day, which is a very kind thing to do. This second quote is to Gentleman Visitor from Scrooge in which Scrooge apologises and gives money to the poor,” Yes that is my name, and I fear it may not be pleasant to you. Allow me to ask your pardon, and will you have the goodness to add this (throwing him a purse) to your good work!”(274) Scrooge kindly apologizes for his rudeness and gives Gentleman Visitor money for the poor. The last quote is when Scrooge would give the boy half a crown for delivering the prize turkey to the Cratchits,”I’m in earnest! Go and buy it and tell ‘em to bring it here that I may give them the direction to take it. Come back with the butcher and I’ll give you a shilling. Come back less than to minutes and I’ll give you half a crown!”(272) Scrooge says this and when looking at other actions he did at the beginning, this here is a step up and really kind thing to do. As you see, Scrooge change his actions and becomes
