Ghost Of Christmas Future
It was an ordinary night of sleep until, something occurred that shook up his world. A ghost of Christmas past came in his room when he was sleeping and took him back to the past. The ghost of Christmas past shows him how he was and the consequences of things he has done. After the ghost of Christmas past left, then a little while later, the ghost of Christmas present came and showed Scrooge things that happened that he didn't know about.Tiny Tim’s dad, Bob Cratchit, did not have that much and Tiny Tim had a problem that caused him to need surgery that they could not afford. The ghost of Christmas future came after that and showed Scrooge all the things that was going to happen, if he didn't change his way. There would be no one at his funeral …show more content…
He started by sending turkey with trimmings to the Cratchit family. He paid for Tiny Tim's health troubles and started paying Bob, more generously, at work. He has had a change of heart and wants to spend time with his friends and family, on special holidays, and desires to be nearer and closer with them. Scrooge has realized things that he should be grateful for that other people don't have and instead of doing selfishly, with his time and resources, he decides to help people with his means and uses it for relieving want and suffering, wherever and whenever, he can. For paragraph two, Act one ,scene three, Marley says, “Without their visits, you cannot hope to shun the path I tread”. I put this quote from Marley because, Scrooge's actions will affect him and because of them the Christmas ghost are visiting him to lead him in the right path. In paragraph three, Scrooge says, this could very well be a parallel of my own life. This is leading up to, Act two, Scene four, where Scrooge said,”I will live in the Past, in the Present, and in the Future!” This supports paragraph three by, saying how Scrooge was realizing how he was going to change and make a

    In 'A Christmas Carol', Dickens represents Scrooge as a 'squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner' who is against Christmas and happiness and values money, yet given a chance to redeem his fate. Marley's Ghost has come to warn Scrooge to change his avarice ways or he, too, will be condemned to wander the Earth in the pain he has caused and the happiness he cannot share, weighed down by 'the chain [he] forged in life' which he has made 'link by link, and yard by yard'. Dickens uses the metaphor to contribute to the burden Marley carries because of the selfish ways he has acted in his life on Earth. Scrooge is shaken by what has happened to his sole friend, who offers no console and furthermore exemplifies his fate by showing him the phantoms who, like Marley, wore chains and were linked together, unable to be free as 'misery with them all was, clearly, that they sought to interfere, for good…and had lost the power for ever' as for the dead, it is too late for anything, which is the message given to Scrooge. The Spirit of Christmas Past visits to reminisce Scrooge's unhappy childhood as a 'solitary child, neglected by his friends'. Scrooge pities himself, and wishes that he had given something to the boy 'singing a Christmas Carol at [his] door last night', which becomes his first step towards his transformation. When Scrooge is shown his fiancé upset that 'another idol has replaced [her]'…a golden one', he recollects how greedy he was and his true values is reflected.…

    This is evidenced as Marley died on Christmas day Scrooge was the only mourner however Scrooge did not seem affected by the death as instead of paying his respect Scrooge used it as an opportunity to make business "even Scrooge was not so dreadfully cut up by the sad event, but that he was an excellent man of business on the very day of the funeral, and solemnized it with an undoubted bargain." Scrooge's tight-fisted nature is demonstrated for the first time in this quote. Scrooge's choice of bargaining at a funeral where it's supposed to be meaningful and evocative; justifies Scrooges apathetic attitude towards the death of his "sole friend" . This foreshadows Scrooge's death as when the ghost of Christmas yet to come displays the vision of Scrooge's death there was only a atmosphere of happiness and a apathetic attitude just like Scrooge at Marley's funeral. At the beginning of the vision Scrooge is acquainted by businessmen as they were discussing about his death, as stated before they gave an uninterested reaction. One of the Business men asked "What has he done with his money?", the fact that they are more concerned about the money rather than Scrooge's death shows their callous attitude again referring back to Scrooge's behavior towards Marley's…

    Set in the 1840s on Christmas Eve, A Christmas Carol chronicles the personal transformation of the protagonist, Ebenezer Scrooge, the proprietor of a London counting house. A wealthy, elderly man, Scrooge is considered miserly and misanthropic: he has no wife or children; he throws out two men collecting for charity; he bullies and underpays his loyal clerk, Bob Cratchit; and he dismisses the Christmas dinner invitation of his kind nephew, Fred. Moreover, Scrooge is a strong supporter of the Poor Law of 1834, which allowed the poor to be interned in workhouses. As he prepares for bed on Christmas Eve in his solitary, dark chambers, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley. In life Marley was very similar in attitude and temperament to Scrooge: remote, cruel, and parsimonious. In death he has learned the value of compassion and warns Scrooge to reform his ways before it is too late. Marley announces that Scrooge will be visited by three more specters: the Spirits of…
