How Did Ebenezer Scrooge Change In The Christmas Coral

The Ghost of Christmas Past took him to a place, where he loved to hang around when he was a young boy. Watching his past made him, sad. He wanted to go home, he couldn’t take it, “ Kind Spirit of Christmas Past, lead me where you will, but quickly! To be stagnant in this place is, for me, unbearable!” ( Dickens 12) After The Ghost of Christmas Past sent him home, The Ghost of Christmas Present arrived. He brings Ebenezer to the Cratchit's home. Ebenezer now sees that the family is happy, and thankful to him. He is confused, “Huh? Who’s that? Who calls? Me, Bob? You toast to me?” (Dickens, 23) The Ghost of Christmas Present reminds him that even though he gives Bob fifteen shillings a week, they still sing, and are grateful for what they have. (Dickens 23) The last place they visit is his nephew and niece’s home. They say how foolish it was that he did not accept their invitation to dinner on Christmas. Then all of a sudden The Ghost of Christmas Present disappeared and The Ghost of Christmas Future appeared, and does not talk, just shows him what his future will be if he does not change. He sees his gravestone and realizes that he is going to die alone, old, and sad. He decides to change and early the next morning when he finds out it is Christmas day, he runs around doing good deeds without anyone knowing who did

First Marley is dead, and scrooge pay to the mortician. Scrooge went to his office and his nephew Fred came to visit him and invited him to dinner. Two portly men came to Scrooge’s office asking for a donation and Scrooge told them that poor people had to go to prison, to workhouses, or die. He went to his home and he was visited by Marley’s ghost or spirit. Marley told him he had to be more generous and three spirits were going to visit him. The spirit of Christmas past woke him and visited him and showed

Later on, Scrooge receives a visit from an old ghost friend of his, Jacob Marley. Marley used to be not only Scrooge 's friend, but his partner as well; until he died several years ago. Marley has done some terrible things in the past, when he died, he didn 't end up in the best place, so him hoping to help scrooge from sharing the same fate as him, warns him that he will get three super natural-visit from from three spirit during the next three nights.

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.

Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, is about a selfish and grouchy man who dislikes Christmas and charity. His name is Ebenezer Scrooge. In order to fix his {insert word that means bad here} qualities, Scrooge is visited by the three Christmas Spirits, the Spirit of Christmas Past, the Spirit of Christmas Present, and the Spirit of Christmas yet to come. These three spirits use their differences and similarities to teach Scrooge lessons that change his egocentric opinions and ways.

...me who was Ebenezer Scrooge, who later realizes his awful way of life and raises the salary for his clerk. Likewise, in the author's life, he finally got rid of his debts and financial problems through a massive success of the book “A Christmas Carol”. Thus, these real life situations that the author faced have been reflected in the story.

Do you think people can change? A Christmas carol is a play written by Charles Dickens, it is an about a man who has no Christmas spirit and is visited by three ghosts which teach him a lesson and he gains Christmas spirit. Scrooge changes in the play from beginning to end because he goes from being an old mean man to when the ghost visit to how he changed.

The first of these spirits is the Ghost of Christmas Past. This ghost shows a younger Scrooge who was not yet influenced by the greed and selfishness that now encloses his soul. This most significant part is when Past shows Scrooge his former sweetheart. Scrooge was just starting to get greedy so his sweetheart “freed him from his contract”, or broke up with him, in other words. When she did this, Scrooge didn’t even notice that she had ever left because he had his money. However, present Scrooge starts yelling at his former self, “You fool! Don’t let her go, you fool!” Eventually he stops because he realizes he can’t change the past, but it shows that he is recognizing what he’s done. Moreover it shows that he is changing the way he thinks about, and treats, other people. This change is also shown in Scrooge’s interaction with the Ghost of Christmas Present. This ghost brings him to Cratchit’s house, where he sees that Cratchit’s family is going through tough times. The salary Scrooge is paying him isn’t enough to provide for the family he has, especially given Cratchit’s youngest son, Tiny Tim, has medical issues. In addition, The Ghost of Christmas Present says, “I see a empty seat next to the Chimney, and a pair of Crutches with no owner.” this indicates that Tiny Time has died because Scrooge wasn’t paying Bob enough to help Tiny Tim’s condition. However they still toast to Scrooge at Christmas dinner because the Cratchits may not have much money, but they are rich with the love and happiness they provide each

At the beginning of stave four a ghost, presumably of the ghost of Christmas future, approached Scrooge saying nothing and yet Scrooge is feeling uneasy and terrified of this ghost while knowing what it’s going to do. The apparition does nothing until Scrooge asks if he will show him the future after Christmas so in turn the ghost nods its’ head ever so slightly to where you can see that it did. They awkwardly do nothing for a moment before the phantom points his hand forward and Scrooge responds for him to lead onward so the ghost moves backwards and he follows the specter which transports him to the city where only he can see and hear the people but they can’t see or hear him. The phantasm stops Scrooge next to a group of businessmen talking about an elderly person who apparently had a vast quantity of money saved up.

Changed by his past, Scrooge is becoming more thoughtful and giving. ‘“There was boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night. I should like to have given him something: that’s all.”’ (pg. 33) After seeing his young self, Scrooge was feeling sorry for the boy at his doorstep.

Scrooge is first visited by the phantom of his departed companion, and sole friend, Jacob Marley. Appearing on the knocker to his old chambers, Marley's horrifying face is the first sign of the remarkable, life-changing night yet to come. However, it is only until Ebenezer Scrooge actually sees "Marley, in his pigtail, usual waistcoat, tights and boots; the tassels on the latter bristling like his pigtail, and his coat-skirts, and the hair upon his head" (p.17) that the old man truly believes that he was not merely seeing a reverie. The specter proceeded to warn Scrooge to change his callous, avarice ways, or to be as Marley after death: dwelling on regret and self-torment, weighed down by "the chain [he] forged in life" (p.21). Knowing Ebenezer as a man of sensible nature, the ghost offers further proof that there are forever consequences, even after life. Shocked, Scrooge glimpses "the air filled with phantoms, wandering hither and thither in restless haste," (p.25) and recognizes many as long forgotten business associates: as greedy and heartless as he. Although Jacob Marley appeared for only a brief moment, he was the most significant and influential spirit: for it was he who imparted the moral that all faults in life are paid for ten-fold in death, and who, more importantly, prepared the pragmatic man for the supernatural appearances that would follow.

After not having felt the emotion of joy in years, Scrooge displays the emotion throughout the novel. The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge on journeys to different times in Scrooge’s like that had been filled with happiness and glee. Scrooge rediscovers these times of joy when he, for example, sees his beloved sister who has passed away. This brings him joy in the form of remembering her kindness and good heart and seeing their unforgettable sibling relationship. Scrooge finds joy when reminiscing about past memories with his childhood friends such as Ali Baba and Orson who help Scrooge experience again the joys of his childhood. Also, when with the Ghost of Christmas Past, Scrooge remembers his past Christmas celebrations with friends and family. The narrator describes the joy Scrooge finds in them by saying, “Scrooge has acted like a man out of his wits. His heart and soul were in the scene and with his former...

During this time, Scrooge is shown a memory in which the man he was an apprentice for when he was a boy hosts a Christmas party. During this vision Charles Dickens writes that Scrooge “enjoyed everything.” After the celebratory party in the vision comes to an end, the ghost is surprised to see how happy young Scrooge and his fellow apprentice were at said party. He said that it was a “small matter” to make so many fools full of gratitude; their boss must not have spent but a few pounds, yet received so much praise from the boys. This remark dumbfounds Scrooge who later explains to the ghost that, “the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune.” This realization shows us that Scrooge has changed once again, thus becoming more aware of feelings and the value of happiness. We see proof that this change has taken place when Scrooge admits to the ghost that he wishes he could have a word with his clerk. Another proof supporting said revelation can be found on pg.27, “his former self turned down the lamps as he gave utterance to the wish.” Remembering how much value he placed on his bosses opinion of him, he likely regrets the way he has treated his clerk.

In Israel Horovitz’s play rewrite of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge goes through many character changes. He does not remove his business sign after his partner, Jacob Marley, dies. He does not care much for Christmas time and sees it as a time to make more money. He is thoughtless towards other people’s lives and feelings and believes that money is to be made or saved, and not spent. He only signs Marley’s funeral papers because he believes that by doing so; he can manipulate a business transaction. Scrooge never cared about Marley, or how other people, such as Fred and Mr.Cratchit, are impacted by his decisions. In A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge’s personality goes from being ungrateful for everything to being a kind-hearted and caring person about other people and their lives because he is visited by three spirits.
