The spirit then takes him to see another Christmas a few years later in which he enjoyed a Christmas party held by his kind-hearted boss, Mr. Fan later died giving birth to her son, Fred. (In some film adaptations of the story, the ghost explains that Scrooge's mother died giving birth to him, for which his father blamed him.) His one solace was his beloved younger sister Fan, who repeatedly begged their father to allow Scrooge to return home, and he at last relented. These visions reveal that Scrooge was a lonely child whose unloving father sent him away to a boarding school. The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to see his time as a schoolboy and young man. Marley warns Scrooge that he risks meeting the same fate, and that as a final chance at redemption he will be visited by three spirits of Christmas: Past, Present, and Future.
Like Scrooge, Marley had spent his life hoarding his wealth and exploiting the poor, and as a result is damned to walk the Earth for eternity bound in the chains of his own greed. While he is preparing to go to bed, he is visited by the ghost of his business partner, Jacob Marley, who had died seven years earlier on Christmas Eve. He was so cold-hearted that he refused to give a morsel to charity as apparently "[ merry and couldn't afford to make idle people merry.' He is particular obsessed with money, barely able to depart with two tuppence without forcing himself to and even taking the coins from his dead friends corpse, highlighting how little respect he has. Ebenezer Scrooge is the anti-heroic main protagonist of the classic Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol.Īs a person, Scrooge comes off as being cold, arrogant, grumpy, shrewd, cynical, stingy, cheap, miserly and even heartless which can all be traced back to his miserably loveless childhood.
