The timeless theme greed was shown throughout Ebony Scrooge and how she treated her manager, her crew, and old bandmate Marli Jacob. In the movie, Ebony treated her manager and her crew poorly in many different ways. She only valued fame, money along with success and she never bothered contacting her family. Ebony’s crew was also overworked and rarely received holidays off. This shows that Ebony is a selfish and inconsiderate person. Her uncaring character successfully helped to develop the greedy theme in the story. Secondly, Ebony did not treat her crew fairly. In the film she lived in one of the most elegant and lavish hotels in town, on the other hand, her crew lived in one of the most dreadful motels in town. This part of the story also validates the themes of the film. Ebony as a celebrity wanted to show off her wealth and capability, so she decided to live in a five-star hotel, however, she left her crew behind in the dark thinking that she was more superior than everyone else.

about it (Gaskell 18). James, who is another servant, tells Hester that she has mistaken “the wind soughing among the trees for music” (Gaskell 17). Hester must force Agnes, by way of rank, to reveal that it is believed that the dead “old lord”, plays the organ (Gaskell 18). Miss Furnivall is first connected with the music, when Hester claims that she thought it was her playing the organ (Gaskell 18). Being that Miss Furnivall is deaf, and is therefore an unlikely musician, this insinuates that Miss Furnivall is connected to this problem. However similar to “A Christmas Carol”, the music is suggested to be derived from ghostly means, because the organ is found to be broken inside, therefore unable to be played normally (Gaskell 18). This thought is later underlined when the child, Rosamond, goes missing, and ghosts threaten the household, further emphasizing that a problem exists (Gaskell 20,24).
