Scrooge Is Mightier Than He Analysis

In scene 3, the ghost took Scrooge to Cratchit’s house during present time. Scrooge saw one of Cratchits sons, Tiny Tim, was dying and there wasn’t much they could do to save him. This memory was important because Scrooge became caring and cared about tiny time because Scrooge felt bad for him. Scrooge showed sympathy for Tiny Tim “Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live.” Scrooge says with concern. This shows that Scrooge cares for more than just himself and he has changed. After being visited by the ghost of Christmas present Scrooge became

Scrooge first met the ghost of the future, he was terrified. He asked the ghost if he would be showing him thing that will come in the future, the ghost replied with a yes. After, Mr. Scrooge and the spirit visited a family celebrating their Christmas holiday. Although, Mr. Scrooge noticed something unusual. There was one family member who seemed quite down. The little boy was named Tim. The spirit of the Christmas yet to come told him that if he did not gain the Christmas spirit the little boy would die, it all depended on him. A little while after, they came across a dead body that was covered up. He was told to remove the sheet to unmask the body, but Mr. Scrooge was to frightened. Although, little did he know, it was him who lay on the bed. This spirit shows him his own death, and that of Tiny Tim, and the hateful legacy he leaves behind. It is this vision of the future that forces Scrooge to change his entire outlook and

He first was annoyed and put upon that he had to be visited by them. Secondly, Scrooge whispers to himself “I’ll send it to Bob Cratchit”and says to the boy ”Come back with the man and I’ll give you a shilling, come back with him in less than five minutes, and I’ll give you a half a crown”. This shows that Scrooge has changed financially as well. This is because in the beginning Scrooge won’t buy anything for himself or others and now, he is willing to be generous with his money to those around him and is thoughtful of others less fortunate than him, he shows this through his thoughts when he thinks about how Bob Cratchit only could afford a small turkey for his large family and decides to help him and purchase a massive turkey so that his family would be fed well on Christmas and afterward with leftovers. In The Christmas Carol Scrooge changes through his

This causes Scrooge to change for the greater good; as soon as he finishes the encounters and time-traveling with the 3 ghosts of Christmas, he then goes to dinner with the family (I forgot their last names).

Scrooge is ignorant to the fact that Christmas is about being with family. As he goes around with the spirit he sees Bob Cratchit’s family and their small goose, but they are happy nun the less. He then goes it see his nephew Fred at his house with his guests and wife playing a game. He is ignorant to the fact that they all have found joy in each other’s company. As he is usually alone on Christmas.

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.

In the beginning of the story Scrooge’s nephew was always there for him, so by the end of the story Scrooge repays his nephew by visiting

He sees that he is jeopardizing his relationship with his nephew and with the community as a whole. As soon as he returns from his eventful journey, Scrooge buys the Cratchit family the biggest turkey available, which reaffirms his vow and makes apparent his new found generosity. He then humbles himself and comes to his nephew’s house, where for the first in a long time, Scrooge shows genuine happiness. The next morning, he surprises Bob Cratchit with a raise and continues to give much support to his family, especially Tiny Tim. These acts of kindness and generosity show how much Scrooge has truly

The first of the three spirits was the spirit of Christmas past. The spirit of Christmas past took ol’ dolorous Scrooge to see his past childhood. The text states that “they passed through Scrooge’s wall, and stood upon an open country road, with fields on either end.” This city had vanished in present time. “Good Heaven! Said Scrooge, clasping his hands together, as he looked about him. ‘I was bred in this place, I was a boy here.” The significance is that Scrooge learns to not be such a gargantuan jerk. Scrooge’s feelings are as if he is being tortured by the spirit of Christmas past. As you would expect, Scrooge hated watching his childhood past, and begs the spirit of Christmas past to dispel him from his childhood. Scrooge very much is gargantuanly odious of watching his childhood, as he cannot bear it. The ghost of Christmas past takes Scrooge back.

They went to a couple’s house when the wife got the news. Based on what I read she was patient and mild on the outside. But in the inside of her soul, she was thankful for the death. Scrooge's heart was broken and he asked the spirit to show him a single person who cared upon his death. Next they went to the Cratchit house.

The text explicitly states Scrooge, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, clutching, covetous, old sinner has passed away. According to the text, he despises many things such as happiness, humor, and even Christmas. From the reading, I know that he is depressed all the time, consequently his mental state has led him to call other people stupid, dumb, and idiots. On page three, in the conversation with his nephew Fred, Scrooge insults his nephew about marrying and loving his wife. The text states, that he also “seized the ruler with such energy of action, that the singer fled in terror, leaving the keyhole to the frost and even more congenial frost.” From the reading I know that Scrooge isn’t a people person and is very down about life. Based on the text he doesn’t really like being around them. For example Scrooge didn’t donate any money to the poor, and blew off his nephew about spending Christmas with them. In the text it states that there is no wind as bare as Scrooge, this means he doesn't really care or doesn't have many feelings.

Using the first spirit, Scrooge was forced to face the fact that people viewed him as greedy and selfish, and began to open him up to the fact that he needs to change. The second spirit, The Ghost of Christmas Present, arrived and took Scrooge to the home of a worker of his, Bob Cratchit. It showed the family content, despite barely getting by. When Scrooge saw Bob’s sick son, he began to show worry that he would not survive. When the spirit told him that the son would not make it to next Christmas, this made Scrooge want to help him. This kind of emotion was unlike him, showing that he was changing (CC40). The spirit then took him to several other Christmas gatherings, where he enjoyed himself and played many games, even though he was merely in a dream. This spirit was used to open up Scrooge and showed his inner want to be around people. These thoughts for Scrooge were different than his from the beginning of the novel, showing that the spirits were being used to teach valuable lessons to Scrooge. The final spirit arrived, but would not answer when asked if he was the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Scrooge plead with the ghost to share his lesson with him, fearful of becoming like Marley (CC51). The silent spirit took Scrooge to a series of strange places, showing people discussing the death of a dead rich man. He then began to understand the

Scrooge began his transformation into a good man when the Ghost of Christmas present shows him the Cratchit household. Scrooge throughout this scene is presented with the consequences of his actions and how they affect those who are less fortunate than he. “Think of that. Bob had but fifteen bob a-week himself; he pocketed on Saturdays but fifteen copies of his Christian name; and yet the Ghost of

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. At last, he learns that this is

“A good day to you Mr. Scrooge. And you, Mr. Cratchit. Merry Christmas to you all!” Although Scrooge was very jolly that day, Bob Cratchit was not. He knows that they were running out of money to the point of bankruptcy. He is aware that Scrooge’s generosity, which brought him out of poverty, will now bring them both back to poverty.
