the ghost of Christmas present (:
The second spirit to visit scrooge in A Christmas Carol is the Ghost of Christmas Present. The ghost takes Scrooge to both his nephew and employee's home in the present time. He also appears with two spirit children, Ignorance and Want.
The only ghost to have this effect was the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come. This ghost did not speak only gestured. This unnerved Scrooge especially when Scrooge was seeing the death of someone (who we assume Scrooge thinks it might be him) and the ghost does not confirm of deny this fact but responds with taking Scrooge to scenes of people talking about the sudden death of "the man". During this Scrooge realises the man is in fact himself and finally he is taken to the grave of "Scrooge" where he sees his existence in eternal torment.
The third ghost that came to visit Ebenezer Scrooge in a Christmas Carol was the Ghost of Christmas Present, if you include Marley's ghost, but if you do not include Marley, then the third (and therefore last) ghost was that of the Christmas Yet to Come, a spectral ghost whose most terrifying feature was that of his muted voice.
Scrooge then sees the Ghost of Christmas present for the first time
The ghost of Christmas Present (Marley is normally not considered one of the foretold ghosts).
Scrooge was never a ghost in the story
no. Marley is the ghost.
He plays Scrooge, young scrooge, middle age scrooge, older scrooge, christmas past ghost, christmas present ghost, and christmas future ghost.
The ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, also known as the Ghost of Christmas Future, had the most profound impact on Scrooge by showing him the potential consequences of his actions and how his current path would lead to a lonely and miserable death. This vision compelled Scrooge to reflect on his life and make a transformation towards generosity and kindness.
When Marley's ghost visited Scrooge he warned him about the ghosts and his behaviour.
He showed Scrooge life as it was in the present. It highlighted lives that go on around him at that time and how people kept Christmas in their hearts and had not dispelled it.
