    Scrooge is a very grumpy, old man. The text refers to his frosty rime on his head, meaning, he had light grey hair. Scrooge had thin eyebrows and spoke shrewdly with his wiry chin. Scrooge was a glum, isolated man that thought Christmas was an overrated event. He only really cares about business and himself. This is so much so the text directly states he struggled to let his employee off work for Christmas, but when he did he gave him half pay. But he was met by his old, dead business partner as a ghost. The ghost told him that he was going to witness three spirits that will help redirect his dark ways. He was so very dark that on page two it suggests that the dogs that guide the blind say, that no eyes at all are better than evil eyes,…

    He remembers how he was rejected, and then he feels regretful and sad for what he had done and what might happen because of him. In the second stave it says, “The school is not quite deserted,” said the Ghost. “A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still” (33). This depicts that Scrooge had no one that really loved him. He didn’t have any real friends or people to talk too. Scrooge thinks about what he has done, and says regretfully, “There was a boy singing a Christmas carol at my door last night. I should like to have given him something” (36). This demonstrates that Scrooge knows that he has made mistakes, and is starting to become a better person, with the Ghosts’ help. Scrooge becomes sad, finally thinking about someone other than himself. “Spirit,” said Scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, “Tell me if Tiny Tim will live.” “I see a vacant seat,” replied the Ghost, “In an old chimney corner, and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, the child will die” (65). This shows that Scrooge really does care about other people. He is recognizing his emotions for other people…
