How Does Scrooge Change In A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol by Mattison. Hansen English 8th 10/23/24 Charles Dickens in the book A Christmas Carol wants us to understand how our attitudes and actions affect how we enjoy our lives. Dickens uses characters in the book to show that our attitudes can have a negative or positive affect. He wants people to stop being grumpy and enjoy life so that they will have people who enjoy their company and miss them when they are gone. Dickens uses the Scrooge as the main protagonist in the book as an example to show that even though Scrooge is very rich, he has been unfulfilled in life while his poor nephew is happy and enjoys it and tries to share joy with everyone. The charters that Charles Dickens created for us to understand this are Scrooge, Fan, the spirit of Christmas present, the spirit of Christmas future, and how Scrooge changed from Benning to the end of the story.
