How is Scrooge presented in a Christmas Carol - What is he like? Are
we sympathetic to him? Does he change? What language features are used
to do this?
Ebenezer Scrooge
This essay is looking at the character, Ebenezer Scrooge throughout
the play. It looks at the person he is and the person he becomes. It
also looks at the language Dickens uses to portray Mr Scrooge.
Dickens portrays Scrooge as a ' tight fisted, penny pincher' with
alliterations and metaphors such as, 'wrenching, grasping, scraping,
clutching, covetous old sinner' emphasising his meanness. He seems a
mean old man with no time for the festivities of Christmas, nor any
other special day at that! Even when the cheerful voice of his nephew
rings out to wish him a very Merry Christmas, his reply was ' Bah,
Humbug!' He snubs visitors with the frost of his nature and speaks
with a voice that begrudges their happiness and united joy. He is even
bitter to the clerk, Bob Cratchit for having a paid day off, stating
' A poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every twenty - fifth of
December! ' (Stave 1)
When the ghost of Marley appears, Scrooge tries to jest with him to
distract his fears but the spectre voice 'disturbs the very marrow in
his bones.' He begs for mercy and asks why the 'dreadful apparition is
troubling him' Although mean and nasty, the reader sees here that
Scrooge is also a coward! Jacob Marley tells of the chains that were
forged in life and what is waiting for Scrooge, telling him
'I am here tonight to warn you, that you have a chance and hope of
escaping my fate' (Stave 1)
If Scrooge did not change his mean old ways, then he is only to look
forward to an after life like poor Jacob. To Scrooge's disappointment
and di...

...tion of the word 'and'
quickens the pace, and indicates the excitement felt by Scrooge.
Scrooge remembers all that was shown to him and he sets off to alter
the future, which only evoked doom. He buys an overwhelmingly large
turkey for Bob Cratchit, attends his Nephews party and generally
spreads the good will and festive cheer of Christmas! Scrooge keeps
his promise, and everyone benefits. There is a repetition of the word
good
' He became a good friend, a good master, and as good a man, as the
good old city knew, or any other good old city, town or borough, in
the good Old World' (Stave 5)
This proves that he has genuinely changed for the better of himself
and everyone around him. The moral of the story is, as Dickens surely
tried to put across, that it is never too late to alter your ways, and
if you don't change, things could happen to you too.

1763 wordsRead More - Scrooge's Fear In A Christmas Carol Analysisanalytical essayThis is shown in the quote:” I should have liked to have given him something that’s all,” Dickens uses dialogue and the motif of guilt to portray Scrooges realisation. Earlier on a boy comes up to Scrooge to ask for money but Scrooge refuses. But now he regrets not giving him any money and we see a new developed philanthropic attitude. The words “that’s all,” shows how Scrooge is resistant to appearing emotional as it causes everything that he said before those words to be insignificant as he is guilty that he didn’t realise sooner but refuses to appear weak. The quote “looking about him, after drying his eyes with is cuff,” shows that he is guilty and wishes to change his ways. But in this part of the novel (stave 2) Dickens uses fear in this extract very differently and in a much more subtle way. Scrooge regrets not giving the boy money because after he himself looks to his past after the spirit shows him he realises that the boy asking for money reminds him of how he was when he was younger. The fact that he regrets his previous action shows that he is scared that the boy might turn out like him. Dickens uses Scrooge’s fear as not fear for himself but for the people he has wronged. This also makes the reader reflect on their actions. Which links back to my original point fear is needed to makes Scrooge realises the consequences of his actions but

As you read the Staves 2, 3 and 4, Scrooge’s behaviour, thoughts and attitude changes gradually. In Stave 2 a quote to show how shrude Scrooge is 'All he could make out was that it was still very foggy and extremely cold' this shows that Scrooge is an unpleasant ‘a covetous sinner’. This has an effect upon the reader as it shows how the cold weather can hurt and be distasteful to people just like Scrooge.

Finally, in the 4th Stave he changes and he admits it, here is a quote “Spirit!'' he cried, tight clutching at its robe, “hear me! I am not the man I was.” This shows Scrooge is pleading that he has changed. I think he has transformed because of the experience he had by the four spirits.
