The Ghost of Christmas Present quoted Scrooge's own words to show him the impact of his attitude and actions on others. By echoing Scrooge's words back to him, the ghost highlighted the need for self-reflection and transformation in order to understand the consequences of his behavior and to encourage him to change for the better.
The words "Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be only?" were repeated by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, causing Scrooge to feel ashamed of his current ways and the potential consequences of his actions.
The first ghost tells Scrooge that he is there to show visions of scrooges past. The ghost of Christmas present suggests that that he is there as Scrooge. Has not seen the likes of him before meaning scrooge has never celebrated Christmas
The ghost repeats Scrooge's words from Act 1 to show him the impact of his actions and how they are affecting those around him. It serves as a powerful reminder for Scrooge to reflect on his behavior and the consequences of his actions on others. Ultimately, it prompts him to change his ways and seek redemption.
Because the ghost of present wanted to show scrooge the true meaning of Christmas by the way I think this is wrong but I'm just going to put whatever i don't really care and I don't understand the book I just go to YouTube and listen to the audio
"Are there no prisons, are there no union work houses?"
In the original book A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, the third spirit is apparently the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. It never says anything to Ebenezer Scrooge, merely gestures, and is described as a hooded phantom, possibly like the stereotypical Grim Reaper.
Scrooge regrets how he mistreated others, neglected relationships, and prioritized money over compassion and kindness. He sees the opportunities he missed to bring joy to others and is deeply saddened by the consequences of his selfishness. Ultimately, he realizes the importance of love and generosity in life.
The Spirit replied that the poor had shelters and workhouses available to them. Scrooge questioned whether those were sufficient, to which the Spirit suggested that they would rather die than go there due to the harsh conditions.
He realizes how mean he really was
The phrase its assumed you refer to (but is not n the original question) is about initially stave one when the two gentlemen approach scrooge for charitable donation to help the poor at the festive many who are starving. Scrooges response was "Are there no prisons?, Gentlemen reply "yes sir many prisons", Scrooge then asks are there no work houses and the treadmill is that fully employed?", again the gentleman reply "yes sir there are work houses and a trad mill but many would rather die than go to these places". Scrooges retort was, "then they better had and reduce the surplus population" . In stave three the Ghost of Christmas Present produces two malnourished poorly dressed children from beneath his robe, Scrooge asks whose child are these and seeing there poor condition asks "have they no one, no resource? (meaning do they not have someone to care for them of something to eat or drink) The ghost replies they are of mans making the boy is ignorance the girl is want , beware of both but more so the boy. The ghost then repeated Scrooges statement to the two gentlemen from stave one "Are there no prisons, are there no work houses?" This was to be the wake up call for Scrooges whose ignorance of the real effects of the world around him were going unnoticed
After Scrooge hears his own words about surplus population and workhouses echoed by the Ghost of Christmas Present, he is confronted with the harsh reality of his callous beliefs and actions. This moment serves as a powerful awakening for Scrooge, as he begins to recognize the impact of his greed and indifference on others. It prompts him to reflect on his past behavior and inspires him to undergo a transformative journey towards redemption and compassion.
