    Scrooge emphasizes, "What a fine day fellow... An Intelligent boy, a remarkable boy."

Instead of rudely gesturing to people, he is now starting to act nicer, and more mature. Scrooge exclaims, " Come back to the butcher and I'll give you a shilling. Come back in two minutes and ill give you a crown!" this show Scrooge truly overcomes the was he acts. Scrooge was all about the money- never wanted to share.

    The self published novella 'A Christmas Carol' was written by Engligh author Charles Dickens in 1843. It sold all 6,000 copies within 9 days of hitting the stands and was met with instant success and critical acclaim. It tells the story of bitter old miser Ebenezer Scrooge and his reluctant jouney to find the Christmas Spirit guided by supernatural visitors Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. The effect the Charles Dickens writings had on this rapidly waneing Christian Festival was so far reaching and well received that many refered to him as 'The Man who Invented Chrristmas'. While Dickens didn’t technically come up with Christmas, he couched its spirit in a philosophy and centered it on an image that compelled people to see it and feel it as he did. “There seems a magic in the very name of Christmas,” writes Dickens, when “petty jealousies and discords are forgotten.”…

    Scrooge started out as a grouchy old man who hated Christmas. He states this several times, including when he says, “Every idiot who goes a bout with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.” (Dickens 14). Towards the end of the story, he became kinder and started to care about other people. He shows this when he says to his employee Bob Cratchit, “A merrier Christmas, Bob, my good fellow, than I have given you, more many a year! I’ll raise your salary, and endeavor to assist your struggling family, and we will discuss your affairs this very afternoon, over a Christmas bowl of smoking bishop!” (Dickens…

    The story is about Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve. He always sat in his counting-house, friendless and alone. He was not generous with his money. The coldness inside him froze his old face. He carried the coldness with him always, wherever he went. It made his office cold in the summer, and it was even colder in winter. He spent his life in a cold nature. His clerk, Bob Cratchit, shivers in the anteroom because Scrooge refuses to spend money on heating coals for a fire. Scrooge's nephew, Fred, pays his uncle a visit and invites him to his annual Christmas party. Two portly gentlemen also drop by and ask Scrooge for a contribution to their charity. Scrooge reacts to the holiday visitors with bitterness and venom.…

    In this scene he is taken to his grave in the future and he then shows his fear and admits that he has done wrong throughout his life once he sees that no one cares that he has died. He says ‘Hear me! I am not the man I was.’ the way he says ‘hear me!’ suggests that he wants everyone to know and hear that he has changed from his pervious self. I think Dickens may have included this episode within the story to show Scrooge admitting he’s now different. Also, earlier in the story, Scrooge says that the poor population should die. However, after seeing what death is like, his point of view may have changed and he may take back what he said…

    A major change made in this film is the arrival of the ghosts. This greatly differs from the novel. The ghost of Christmas yet to come has a hand of skin and does not speak but responds to scrooge in the form of an eerie metallic noise that evokes the screech of a cemetery’s gate. Although Marley’s ghost did appear, the ghosts wailing outside scrooge’s window were incognito. Scrooge’s fiancé, who eventually leaves him because of his misery ways, does not appear in the film, as were the two starving children Want and Ignorance who hid within the folds of the ghost of Christmas yet to come segment. In this production unlike the original story, Scrooge actually fires Cratchit rather than just threatening to do so. Unlike other portrayals on film, the cratchit’s Christmas Eve dinner is…
