Scrooge in his early life lost two things most dear to him. However, the death in childbirth of his sister Fan was the greatest upset to him and it is this that pushes him to place barriers between himself and others in a bid to reduce the great hurt he feels in losing a loved one. This hardening of his feelings continues across his life making him a cold lonely person.

Scrooge is often seen as heartless because he is portrayed as miserly and uncaring, particularly towards those who are less fortunate. He values money over relationships and is initially reluctant to show compassion or generosity. Through his journey in "A Christmas Carol," he learns the importance of kindness and empathy.
