Rude, miserly uncaring and bitter
He is elated; He is still alive and has see the error of his ways and now can make good on the oath he made to change
The ghost of Christmas Past
Scrooge's foils were characters like Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim who represented the opposite qualities of generosity, gratitude, and compassion. They served as contrasts to Scrooge's miserly and cold-hearted nature, highlighting his need for personal growth and redemption.
No because heaven ghosts don't haunt people down like other ghosts. Heaven ghosts are angels because they came down from heaven to help people.
He does. The Ghost of Christmas Present is showing him the visions of what Christmas now and across the 12 days of Christmas looks like. This is what Scrooge is missing in his life as the ghost states on their first meeting in the room. "Come in man and know me well" followed by "You do not recognise me do you or any of my brothers". Meaning that Scrooge did not see or live Christmas.
All of the ghosts are encouraging Scrooge to examine his heart and his actions towards others, not just during the Christmas season, but all year round. They hope to convince him to change his stingy ways and share his his wealth and his love and make a difference in the world.
In "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, petrifaction refers to a state of being turned to stone or becoming like stone, often used metaphorically to describe someone or something as rigid, unyielding, or lacking in compassion and empathy. It symbolizes a lack of humanity and warmth in characters such as Ebenezer Scrooge before his transformation.
Yes ghost like other ghosts. The ones that have lost their head go for those who still have a head. Ghosts aren't real!
A Huge Scrooge
Ebenezer Scrooge is typically portrayed as a changed character after his experiences with the Ghosts of Christmas in Charles Dickens' novel "A Christmas Carol." He becomes generous, kind-hearted, and compassionate towards others, embodying the spirit of Christmas.
In "A Christmas Carol," the spirit and Scrooge touched the ghost's robe or a special object like a ring or staff to move through space and time to different locations. This allowed them to witness various events and scenes related to Christmas past, present, and future.
Jacob Marley was Ebenezer Scrooges business partner. Unlike Scrooge Marley did spend on himself and had a large house near the city of London. However, he was as ruthless as Scrooge when dealing with business and would make sure the every penny spent created many for himself. Marley died seven years before the story is told and is allowed to return to offer advice to Scrooge. That advice is to change his ways and to help his fellow man. He tells Scrooge that he (Marley) had made for himself a huge chain of torment symbolised by a long chain wrapped around his body interlaced with ledgers, safes and money bags. IN his foretelling Marley warned Scrooge that Scrooges chain was already seven time longer and therefore heavier to carry that his own . He finally lets Scrooge see other spirits who are like himself suffering everlasting torment. It is then that Marley tells Scrooge he will be visited by three ghosts who are to help him...........If he listens to them.
