The door knocker symbolizes a bull's head or a minator's head. Charles Dickens most likely put that in the book to show what type of person lived in that house and quite frankly he did it well linking the raging temper and hatred of Scrooge with the fury and terror of a charging bull. Hope I helped. 2000AD

In "A Christmas Carol," the door knocker symbolizes the barrier between Scrooge's closed-off, selfish world and the potential for redemption and change. When it transforms into the face of Marley, Scrooge's deceased business partner, it signifies the start of Scrooge's transformative journey towards self-reflection and redemption.
