How Scoorges character changes
My Essay
The Christmas carol is a book written by Charles Dickens. This story is set in Dickensian, London. This novel shows the difference between social classes during the 19th hundreds. In my opinion the work of Charles Dickens defined the poverty of the industrial revolution as no other has ever done. His true goal in life was to awaken the middle and upper classes to the terrible plight of Britain’s poor. Dickens father was in severe debt, at that time debtors who were unable to pay were often thrown into prison, with their wife’s and young children. At twelve Dickens was old enough to get a job and support himself. He desperately wanted to go to school; he also saw the cruelty with which young workers like him were treated. I think that was the thing that inspired him to write his book.
Scrooge absolutely despised Christmas at the beginning of the book. He always used to say “Bah Humbug”! The author had said that he was “thoroughly dislikeable, selfish, rude and lonely”. In my opinion there are many reasons why he was so grumpy all the time. I think the biggest reasons why he is like that is because Marley had died. Marley was his soul mate and only friend. I would feel upside down if I was in Scrooge place. Another part that shows that Scrooge is cold hearted is that he makes his clerk Bob Cratchit shiver in the anteroom because Scrooge refuses to spend money on heating coals for a fire. Dickens puts many adjectives about Scrooge in this part of the play to show the audience how Scrooge is like. An example is “Oh! But he was a tight fisted hand at the grindstone.Another is “A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner”. This shows the hate to Scrooge.
Dickens shows Scrooge at the start of stave two, three, and four as a gradual change of heart. In the second stave Dickens introduces the reader to Scrooge's ghost of Christmas. This showed Scrooges he needed to change. Moreover in the next stave the ghost of the Christmas
