An anonymous writer once said, “ Life is about trusting your feelings, taking chances, finding happiness, learning from the past, realizing everything changes.” This quote reminded me of Scrooge the second I spotted it. I think that this quote has a very important meaning. Everyone can agree that this quote has a bunch of different meanings. I think this quote is a guide through life and everyone should follow this guide. In the play, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Scrooge was an old cranky man that only cared about money and himself. In the play, Scrooge had a love but they had broken up and he never took the chance to find a new love. In the end of the play, Scrooge learned how to be a good person and how to love again.
Initially, in the play Scrooge was an old cranky man that only cared about himself and money. When Fred Scrooge's nephew came to visit Scrooge to invite him to Christmas. Also, Scrooge would say “ There is no reason to be merry you're poor enough.” Then Fred would say the same thing to Scrooge but instead of saying you're poor enough.

The fact that the Ghost of Christmas Future was in a black cloak and had no face gave a bigger effect on Scrooge. An example is when the Ghost of Christmas Future showed Scrooge a gravestone that said, “Here lies Ebenezer Scrooge.” Also when Scrooge sees the people stealing different objects from Scrooge's room. After that Scrooge got scared and whined that he was going to change and he was going to keep the Ghost of Christmas Past and Present with him and he will be a good and warm-hearted person. I think the Ghost of Christmas Future’s purpose was to show Scrooge that if he didn't change what people would say and do when he died. During the end of the play when the Ghost of Christmas Future left Scrooge gave her employer Cratchit a raise for his salary and Scrooge went to Fred's Christmas party. In the end, Scrooge finally has a warm and good

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).
The Spirit of Christmas Past shows Scrooge how selfish and greedy he has become, and helps him realize how he can fix it. The Spirit of Christmas Present allows Scrooge to see what Christmas would be like if he doesn’t change his ways, and his perspective towards people he knows. The Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge what will happen if he doesn’t change his ways, but in a more alarming way. The three visits with the different spirits together alter Scrooge’s actions and thoughts, and change him as a person. As the last spirit is about to leave, he pledges, “‘I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
Throughout “A Christmas Carol” Scrooge was a really mean, hateful, selfish mister, I felt like he would never change, he was a man you wouldn’t want to hang out with. Scrooge became, to me the worse guy and the most selfish. Then, Scrooge went from being a hateful mister to a genuinely good person. He, was visited by The Ghosts Of Christmas Past, then Present, and lastly by Future. The Ghost Of Christmas Past visited Scrooge.
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.
In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is a greedy, selfish man who doesn't think about others. When he meets the ghosts, Past shows how sad he was when he was young and how his greed made him lose his love. Present showed him how he affected those around him and how greedy he is. Future brings him to his death and how no one cared that he died and instead stole from his home. Similarities between the movie and the drama are the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. The differences are the lines and the scenes.
At the end of the book Scrooge is Scrooge is a greedy, selfish, mean, cruel person. He realizes that and changes. “‘You’ll want all day tomorrow, I suppose?’” said Scrooge ‘If quite convenient, sir.’ ‘It’s not convenient,’ said Scrooge, ‘amid it’s not fair.

On Christmas Eve he was visited by 3 ghosts: the past, the present, and the future. The ghosts warned him about how his miserable life would affect him in the past, present, and future. Scrooge then takes a visit with each spirit, making him believe he should change. The visions Scrooge saw terrified him, forcing him to change and become a better person.

It is all about the money Scrooge has a great love of money, and that love ended up ruining his life. People in todays modern world still have a great love for money. Just like Scrooge people ruin their own lives as well as others. Scrooge’s current life revolves around money.
The Ghost of Christmas Present showed Scrooge many happenings from the people Scrooge knows, but the Ghost also showed him people he doesn’t know and probably never will, people who are suffering themselves. After the Ghost showed Scrooge the Cratchit’s household and his nephew’s house, he showed him people far from home, people in jails, people in hospitals, and people who were simply struggling. The Ghost blessed each of those people, the people that he had no relation to, the people whom he knew nothing about. Their struggles were relieved, the struggling more patient, the sick healed, and so on. In doing this, the Ghost showed Scrooge that although Scrooge was not magical, one person’s blessing can impact many people. He showed Scrooge that kindness and generosity can make the biggest difference, and caring about others, caring about all others, can create a big change and be beneficial to everyone.
The drama of A Christmas Carol has one predominant conflict; Ebenezer Scrooge despises Christmas and anything that relates to it (Dickens 1). Scrooge has been rejecting his family during the Christmas season for many years, and he prefers to spend as little time with them as possible, that is until he receives a visit from his dead business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley came to provide Scrooge with a warning about three coming spirits, The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present, and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The Ghost of Christmas Past also referred to as Past (Dickens 11-17), is a ghostly spirit who possesses the power to travel back in time. At 1:00 AM, Past brings Ebenezer to his depressing childhood, causing horrible memories to return to Mr. Scrooge. The Ghost of Christmas Present, referred to as Present (Dickens 18-25), bears the power to teleport in the present day. Then, at 2:00 AM, Present, along with Scrooge, teleport to Bob Cratchit's and Scrooge’s nephew’s holiday feasts, revealing what Ebenezer is missing out on by turning away his friends and family. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, a silent spirit referred to as Future (Dickens 26-31), retains the power to jump to the future. Finally, at the stroke of 3, Future and Scrooge jump into the future to show how Scrooge’s behavior has an impact on himself and the others
