Scrooge's Reaction Towards Other People In His Environment

Decent Essays
Body #1:CD#1In the beginning when I saw how Scrooge acted towards other people in his environment he seemed very angry. And he felt as if nothing mattered. He was very ungrateful and didn’t care about his surroundings. But that all changes when he discovers his past and realizes that not everything is not always hateful. For example according to the the passage “A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley Act 2” it states, “Scrooge.Oh, my dear, dear little sister, Fan… how I loved her. Past.Always a delicate creature, whom a breath might have withered, but she had a large heart… Scrooge. So she had. Past. She died a woman, and had, as I think, children.” CM.What this means is that Scrooge used to love but know he is angry and sad because of the

    Traces of religious messages can be found just about everywhere in life. Sometimes it requires a finely tuned ear to fully grasp or understand them; however, this is not the case with The Muppet Christmas Carol. There are explicit references and plot lines that directly relate to biblical themes. Two very prominent themes in this movie that can be found in all four New Testament Gospels are: help those in need when possible (stewardship), and forgiveness. Stewardship is seen when Scrooge is urged not only to donate money to those in need, but even in the scene when Kermit asks him for a just extra shovel of coal on the fire to offset the coldness in the shop.…

    He starts to comprehend his harsh behaviours and asks the spirit to 'conduct [him] where you will. I went forth last night on compulsion, and I learnt a lesson…let me profit by it.' The spirit, through Dickens, transports Scrooge to view an affectionate scene during Christmas with the Cratchits, where Tiny Tim's feeble self is seated next to his father. Scrooge feels miserable for the family even though they are 'happy [and] grateful' because it was Christmas time and are always 'pleased with one another and contented with the time'. Dickens, through the Spirit of Christmas Present, has also used caricatures to juxtapose with Scrooge's characterization by revealing that even though on the 'dismal reef of sunken rocks' and in isolation, the lonely men at the lighthouse still 'wished each other Merry Christmas…and struck up a sturdy song', which shows Scrooge that no matter where people are, Christmas is a time for…

    Charles Dickens novel, A Christmas Carol left a powerful imprint on the world, eternalized as its growing list of adaptations only continues. One notable adaptation, A Christmas Carol (2009), features acclaimed actor Jim Carrey, as the famous misanthrope Scrooge.
