How Does Scrooge Change

As soon as Jacob left, Scrooge went to bed but to only be awaken by the ghost of Christmas Past. The ghost was a strange childlike phantom with a brightly glowing head. The boy took Scrooge out through the window and travel back in time to revisits his childhood school days, his apprenticeship with a jolly merchant named Fezziwig, and his engagement to Belle, a woman who leaves Scrooge because his lust for money eclipses his ability to love another. Each past recollection that he hold caused scrooge to rethink where did he go wrong and caused him to tear up and sob and even regret not giving to someone who today ask for money for the poor. The ghost then returned Scrooge to his bedroom after his time travel through his past.

In the play, A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley by Israel Horovitz the main character Scrooge is a cold-hearted miser who despises Christmas and people. At the beginning, he shows very different and mean actions towards people and how he is always mad. For example when Scrooge leaves his office's people start to walk past him in a happy and merry mood. But in contrast to the people, Scrooge has a frown and looks unhappy for the Christmas time. Another example is that when his nephew is talking to him he is wanting him to leave so he keeps on repeating the words, “Good Afternoon!” until he leaves. The last example would be that when Cratchit is cold in the office, Scrooge starts yelling at him saying that he would fire him because he was showing he was cold. Scrooge also shows it in his own words by saying “...every idiot who goes about with “Merry Christmas” on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.”(647).

Scrooge doesn’t like Christmas because he has negative memories associated with Christmas time. He also doesn’t like Christmas because he feels like money gets taken from his pocket with no work because his employees don’t have to work. Scrooge is very wealthy and didn’t like sharing to the poor not even the littlest of amount. Scrooge didn’t like that poor people to be grateful for what they got. He loved himself only and didn’t care about anyone, but himself.

Scrooge was surprised when Past took him to see himself when he was only a boy. At the time Srooge realized that he should have done something for the little boy that was caroling, but Scrooge realizes that it is too late. Then Scrooge sees when he is 12 that his sister comes in and says that he can come home for christmas this year. So they get there stuff and go outside, the dad was telling scrooge that he can stay to days and then go to work. Then Scrooge sees his old boss Fezziwig and realizes that he wanted to be like Fezziwig when he was older and never became that kind of boss.

There is lightning and thunder and the Ghost of Christmas Present appears to Scrooge. Scrooge pleads to the Ghost of Christmas “Tonight, if you have aught to teach me, let me profit by it.”(page 267 paragraph 24) Present commanded Scrooge to touch his robe and they go through scenes of this years Christmas. In scene three, Present shows Ebenezer the home of his employee, Bob Cratchit. He thought Cratchit was being foolish for having such a large family for only getting 15 shillings a week. Scrooge sees the condition Bob’s son, Tiny Tim is in. Tiny Tim walks on a crutch and has braces on his legs. Scrooge asks the Spirit “Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live.”(page 271 paragraph 55) The Present explained that if Scrooge does not alter the future, the child will die. Scrooge pleads that the child will be

The ghost of Christmas past visits him first and shows him parts of his life, and his transition from a hopeful boy to a greedy man. The next spirit is the Ghost of Christmas Present, he shows him Christmas joy, and then the Cratchit’s. They have a crippled young boy, tiny tim who the ghost of Christmas past informs scrooge will die unless the future is changed. After this he is visited by the ghost of Christmas yet to come, he shows scrooge people talking about someones death, yet no one is pained by it. Scrooge is told that tiny tim is dead, and he also learns that hisself is also

Firstly, during Marley’s ghost visit, Marley warned Scrooge about living an immoral life and how punishment comes to those who refuse to change. Scrooge simply replies asking Marley if he could give him words of comfort and does not care to truly change his life. Secondly, Scrooge refuses to attend his nephew’s Christmas dinner, rather replies coldly and rudely. Scrooge does not care to bring joy to others and lives his life in his own dark world of heartless spirit. Lastly, Scrooge is obsessed with business and success, always thinking about himself and his achievements.

Scrooge used to be very cruel and greedy to his employee Cratchit, not paying him enough for his work, and not having a heart to care about supporting his family, since the little money he was making, he used to support his own poor family. However, after his encounter with the Ghost of Christmas Future, and after seeing the terrible scene of where his family would end up next, he realizes he wants to change for the better. In Act 1, Cratchit used to get paid little money for his hard work in the business. Christmas was the next day, and Cratchit wanted to spend it with his family. Scrooge says, “And yet, you don’t think of me ill-used when I pay a day’s wages for no work”.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is about three ghosts – one of Christmas past, one of Christmas present, and one of Christmas future – trying to change Ebenezer Scrooge. At the time, he is a grumpy man that does not find any pleasure in anything. When he argues with his nephew, he shows this about himself (pg. 3). The three spirits influence Scrooge’s transformation by making him a happier person.

In the “Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens the main character is Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge is not a very nice person, he is full of greed, he is selfish, and he is prideful. Scrooge is a very successful businessman, that makes wise decisions to keep his business running. Scrooge was very greedy, he would not donate to any charities for the hungry, and caring about nothing about money and what option is cheaper. He is selfish because he gives his assistant a very low salary and is rude to everyone in his path. He shows how prideful he is through his wealth, he thought that people that were poor were lazy and good for nothing and that because he had more money than him he was better than them.

Scrooge thinks business is all about money. This made him forget his family throughout the story. I know this because in the passage it states’’ you do not think me ill used when I pay a day’s wage for no work.’’(23) This shows that Scrooge thinks money is always important and nothing else. This makes him a mean person and a person

Scrooge is evil, rotten, and greedy. His deceased friend, Marley noticed this and sent him the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. They make Scrooge relive his saddest moments, like seeing his sister again before she died, and losing the woman that he loved, that might have a part in why he is, like he is, now. They also show him the stuff around him, like his employee’s son, Tiny Tim, being sick and saying that he is not going to make it. Then to top it off, future shows him his grave and some weird lady insulting him after he is died.

“Spirit, hear me. I am not the man I was...I will honor Christmas in my heart...I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future...I will not shut out the lessons that they teach”. A Christmas Carol , written in six weeks by Charles Dickens, was published on December 19, 1843. The Ghost of Christmas Past shows Ebenezer the emotions that he once perceived. The past events that happened in Scrooge’s life had a negative effect on his Present which the Ghost of Christmas Present revealed to him. The Ghost of Christmas Future threatened Scrooge by showing him that if he remained the man that he was, all that would lie before him was a lonely future. Through the three Ghosts, Ebenezer changes not only his Christmas Spirit but his overall personality.

and now he is in love with Christmas.when he remembers he is merely "Revisiting the scene with the Ghost. Scrooge tells the Ghost that Fezziwig's gift of happiness to his friends far outweighs the money he spent on the party. He mentions he would like to say something to his clerk." The Christmas carol was the best movie I have every seen in my life it made me cry a little bit and I feet bad for what they was doing to that man by show him how bad he was doing other I know he was hurt people could you just do something eves instilled doing that to him I hop you like this because I know you will cause I did you will fall in love with this movie cause is a really good movie.I will be back really soon I know you don't want me to go but I have to I will be back I promise you that so now you tell me about something I bet you can do it show me what you got."After showing up in Scrooge's house, the Ghost

Scrooge, who was disrespectful to everyone around him, is miserable now that Marley, his business partner of many years has died. He does not have an ordinary name; his first name is Ebenezer. According to the text, Scrooge hates things like happiness, generosity, and Christmas. Oh! How he hates Christmas! His feelings about Christmas are consistent until three ghosts show him that his way of thinking is wrong. On pages one and two, it says “External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather could chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon it’s purpose.” The author was saying nothing can change how Scrooge acts towards other people. Ebenezer Scrooge was a person who was always down, gloomy, and moody. For example on page one there is a description of Scrooge and it says, “ The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his lips blue and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin.” Scrooge’s wrinkled, aged, rough appearance reflects his inner feelings. According to the text, “Scrooge carried his own low temperature everywhere he went.” Scrooge’s demeanor was always low.
