Compare And Contrast How The Grinch Stole Christmas Carol

The two iconic holiday villains are, bad, grumpy, lonely, and a hater of all things Who-related, The Grinch, from How the Grinch Stole Christmas, written by Dr. Seuss and the cheerless, misanthrope, miser, Scrooge, from The Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens. Both bad, beastly, brutal, and barbarous acting. Each character starts of bad, then turns good in the end, but the big question is which character is meaner? Out of both the Grinch and Scrooge’s reactions to Christmas; the Grinch is the meanest meanie of them all. The Grinch is meaner because he tries to stop Christmas from coming, lied to a little child about being Santa Clause, and terrorized the Whos.. He’s a nasty, horrendous person who terrorizes the town of Whoville, and his name was Mr. Grinch. The Grinch
Scrooge was an old, grumpy, misanthrope who hated everything Christmas. Mr. Scrooge, being the miser that he is, decided not to give any of his money to the poor. This is hurting the poor, but not everybody in town. He thought that since he paid taxes to the multiple prisons and workhouses in England, he didn’t have to give money to the poor, which are places where the poor can go. He also said his famous line of “Bah Humbug!” The modern meaning of it means to publically show a dislike of Christmas. Scrooge was never a happy person during his adulthood; he was crotchety to everyone on the streets that he passed. He didn’t understand why Christmas was a holiday that everyone stayed home and didn’t work. He thought that money was everything and the only thing that mattered in life.
In conclusion, the facts show that the Grinch was meaner; he stole from the Whos and tried to stop Christmas from coming, but Mr. Scrooge was plainly a miser and a misanthrope. Although, both villains were greedy, selfish, and obnoxious, clearly the Grinch is the meaner of the two holiday
