Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a moral tale that depicts the protagonist’s Ebenezer Scrooge’s moral journey from selfishness to redemption. It can be seen that his new found way of life is derived from the desire to be a good man of the community and to assist others such as Tiny Tim. The idea of Scrooge’s transformation not being selfish can also be seen in his aspiration to contribute to the wider community that suffers from a poverty stricken way of life. In addition to this, Scrooge also reforms his way of life in order to feel love and care from family, which satisfied his nephew Fred aswell as himself. However, this selflessness is only to an

In Scrooge’s past and present, his actions had not been admirable. In reaction to this, Scrooge had closed himself off and become cold and impenetrable by any kindness. He had no empathy for others. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come changed this mindset by showing Scrooge the most severe consequences of his cold hearted actions. In

Scrooge lives in a gloomy suite of rooms, which is so old and dreary that Scrooge is the only one who lives there. This is where Scrooge encountered Marley, on Christmas Eve seven years to the date when he passed away. Marley firsts appears on the door where the knocker sits, “but looked at scrooge as Marley used to look: with ghostly spectacles turned up upon is ghostly forehead. Scrooge is not an easily frightened man, but from the sight of the ghostly face, he becomes slightly unnerved, and double looks himself in as an attempt to dismiss the ghostly face. “I won’t believe it,” once again is presented with a ghostly figure, “ I know him!

Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserable and greedy old man, who focuses mainly on his business and continues with his greedy ways on Christmas Eve. He is always grumpy and yells at his employees, and most of all at Bob Cratchit. Scrooge’s desire is to be by himself on Christmas Eve, and rejects his nephew Fred’s, invitation for dinner. One night, the ghost of Jacob Marley, a former colleague of Scrooge, who has passed away seven years ago, visits the old man. Marley reminds Scrooge of his cruel lifestyle and encourages him to change it before it is too late. He tells Scrooge that three spirits will visit him. When Scrooge falls asleep, The Ghost of Christmas Past visits him first. The Ghost shows him scenes from the past the reveal Scrooges’ live; from a lonesome young boy to a man who has allowed greed to overcome his life, a man who does not know love and compassion. Scrooge is touched by what he has seen and even allows emotions to overcome his stone-cold heart. Secondly, the Ghost of Christmas Present visits Scrooge. The Ghost takes Scrooge to several Christmas celebrations, including the party at Fred’s house. Also the Ghost takes Scrooge to the Crachit’s house, and warns him that unless the future is changed the crippled young son of Bob, Tiny Tim will die. The ghost warns Scrooge to be carful of his ignorance. Lastly the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come visits Scrooge. The old man becomes aware that several people discuses the death of someone.

Scrooge sees Tiny Tim, Bob's crippled, small child, he sees that Bob loves Tiny Tim, and he dreads he might be taken away from him. Scrooge asks the spirit if Tiny Tim will live, but the spirit tells him if the future remains unaffected the child will die. Scrooge begs that Tiny Tim be spared, but the ghost replies, "If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population" (Dickens Line 834-835). Scrooge recognized what the spirit had told him, Scrooge had told the charity men this when they told him people would rather die than go to the workhouses or prisons. Scrooge has remorse about saying this now as he watched Tiny Tim suffer in his condition. He wants to help him, and now that he sees an example of how the surplus population lives he is shameful for the way he

As the play moves from on, there is a further development in Scrooge’s character. After the visits from the three spirits of Christmas, Scrooge realizes the error of his ways and his character becomes a total flip of what he was at the beginning of the play. In the after math of his crazy night, Scrooge wakes up and the first boy to whom he speaks receives his first act of kindness. This first random act of kindness leads him to giving money to a blind woman, buying the prize turkey for the Cratchit family and visiting his nephew’s home for Christmas

By this part in the novel, dickens introduced the next Ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Present. The ghost of Christmas present takes Scrooge to his clerk`s house. Here he witness the unfortunate conditions of their Christmas, however, it doesn’t appear to be so unfortunate at all; although Scrooge notices how Tiny Tim is crippled and at deaths door. He is moved by this sight, and that of his clerk’s family. He had never imagined their lives to be like this before; however it’s astonishing to him, that although extremely poor, they are full of joy and happiness. He notices the simple pleasures of family life as well. Furthermore something strange begins to happen, he sympathises with Tiny Time, who Scrooge understands will die without financial help. Dickens has showed us how scrooge is changing and learning to sympathise, a “skill” he previously didn’t have. "Spirit," said Scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, "tell me if Tiny Tim will live." ' Dickens once more showing us scrooges new found affections. Additionally when the Spirit predicts “an empty chair if things do not change”, Scrooge is quite

But, as I know your promise is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful heart” (Dickens, 51). If it was not for the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, Scrooge would not have turned out to be the kindest man and Tiny Tim would have probably not lived. Now Scrooge is transformed into a new man and will never be a hateful, rude, cold-hearted, and covetous person ever

How does Tiny Tim Affect Scrooge? The Christmas Carol is a story, which can be called a novella. Charles Dickens wrote this in 1843 and it soon became a very famous book. The character that I will be looking at who changes in this novel is Scrooge. Ebenezer Scrooge is known as a very selfish, stingy and cruel man. Scrooge runs his own business that provides him with lots of wealth but it's his heart that never shows any goodness. His former business partner was Jacob Marley who died seven years ago in the novella. So to start of Scrooge's reclamation from a misanthropist to a philanthropist he meets his former business partner Jacob Marley's spirit. Marley was a character who had a heart just like Scrooge, which is probably why they liked working together, and they were very successful. However, this time Marley appears as a very different character his spirit has a frightening appearance. He tries to help Scrooge by leading him in the right direction to redemption.

First, Present takes him to his employee’s house where Scrooge learns how poor and sorrowful his employee, Bob Cratchit, is. Their family is struggling and Tiny Tim, the youngest member of the Cratchit family, is crippled. Unfortunately for Tiny Tim, death may be coming very soon, but he does not care. He is very optimistic and loves everyone by saying, “God bless us everyone,” (704). Next, Present shows Scrooge his nephew’s house and how everyone dislikes him, yet his nephew still toasts to his life. Once he does so his wife seems astonished as she says, “A toast to him?” (709). Soon the Ghost of Christmas Present deliquesces and disappears.

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

Just so we know before the story starts the author clearly states that Marley dead, dead, dead, dead. This is about Scrooge, who is a phenomenally sorrowful, dismal, person that is extremely oblivious to multiple people in cruel, bitter ways. He absolutely despises all objects and feelings that include happiness and generosity, especially Christmas, accordingly the text states that people try to serenade others with Christmas carols, but he made them leave. Two gentlemen from a local charity visited Scrooge at his office asking him for a donation to help the poverty-stricken, and he responded to their request with these words, “Aren’t there prisons and union workhouses they can just live in?” Then, his perished business partner Marley, who is now a ghost shows up. Putting forth great effort, Scrooge attempted to forget his deceased partner of many years, Jacob Marley. During his visit, the Ghost of Jacob Marley tried endlessly to convince Scrooge to change his ways. To do this he will have three ghosts haunt him, nevertheless, they will show him the error of his way at night, one spirit per night, for three nights. The text states though that he prefers inexpensive necessities like darkness instead of light. This proves he is probably filthy, dull, and his clothes are likely to be shaggy and torn. He definitely is not a person anyone wants to meet, that’s for sure! Scrooge’s intrusive catchphrase is “ Bah Humbug!” so, obviously he says that to a decent amount of people.
