The ghost of Christmas present
He carries a torch.
In "The Christmas Carol", Dickens described it as an "incense" and it didn't come from a horn of plenty but from a torch. The torch could perform many good things. For instance, the Ghost sprinkled some of his incense on the dinners that some "poor revellers" were carrying. We can assume that it made the food heartier or even tastier. Also, two men were quarreling and a couple of "drops" from the torch restored their good humor. As a Ghost in a work of fiction, I guess the torch could do just about anything the Ghost pleased. It is one of the greatest inventions that Dickens had in telling this wonderful story.
In "A Christmas Carol," the torch mentioned likely refers to a long stick with a flaming light source at the end. Torches were commonly used for illumination in outdoor settings during the time period in which the story is set. They emit a flickering light that casts shadows and adds to the atmosphere of the scene.
The spirit's torch in 'A Christmas Carol' represents enlightenment and the power to shine a light on the truths of one's life. It symbolizes the ability to reveal hidden aspects of oneself and the potential for change and redemption. The torch is a guiding light that leads Scrooge towards self-awareness and transformation.
In the Christmas carol "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella," Jeanette and Isabella are asked to bring a torch to light up the stable where the Baby Jesus is born. The song describes the scene of their journey to see the newborn child.
The torch symbolizes warm, inviting light and represents hope and generosity. Its presence in Stave Three of A Christmas Carol helps to transform people's attitudes, leading them to open their hearts to the Christmas spirit and embrace compassion and goodwill towards others.
The second spirit in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is the Ghost of Christmas Present. This spirit appears as a jolly giant with a glowing torch. The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge scenes of joy and celebration to teach him the importance of living in the present and being generous to others.
What dolls? I can't remember any. In exchange, he hides under his cloak two dirty, haggard skeleton-like figures in the shape of a boy and a girl, symbolising WANT and IGNORANCE. that is basically what the answer is. in many different versions they describe WANT and IGNORANCE in different ways but they always have the same name
I didn't think the Spirit looked strange at all. Given the non-existent graphic capabilities at the time the movie produced, it wasn't possible to make the spirit more 'ghostly' looking or transparent.
The Ghost of Christmas Present is a plump, tall, joyful man who carries a torch with him. He is supposed to represent how Christmas is a time of goodness and cheer. When he sprinkles ashes from his torch onto people, they immediately become happy and cheerful. The Ghost of Christmas Past shows how Christmas is a time when everybody gets together and becomes thankful for each other; that they still are alive and that they have a happy life with a good family and money in their pockets.
The head of the ghost of Christmas past carried a candle extinguisher. His head bore a flame which he explains is to help Scrooge see into the dark areas of his past. Scrooge becomes emotional and does not want to show his feelings so attempts to use the hat to put out the light so stopping visions of his pasted being seen.
