In the novel A Christmas Carol Scrooge was a very mean person and only valued money. He was visited by four spirits, Marley’s ghost, The ghost of christmas past, The ghost of christmas present, and The ghost of christmas yet to come. All three spirits showed scrooge the true meaning of christmas and what he should really value. Scrooge starts to change over time and now has a different perspective on the meaning of business. In A Christmas Carol the novel, Charles Dickens is trying to get the reader to understand that one’s business in life is to care about other feelings than your own through the visits of the three spirits. Ebenezer scrooge does not understand the true meaning of business, he thinks business is money.
