How Does Scrooge Change In A Christmas Carol

Do you believe in ghosts? A Christmas Carol is a story about ghosts, a painful past, a happy present, a sad maybe future, a hopeful employee, and a mean old Scrooge. Through this play Ebenezer Scrooge changes. Three main reasons that caused Scrooge to change were seeing his dear employee toast to him, looking back to a painful past, and noticing a bad future changes mean old Mr.Scrooge. Several things can change a person, but for Mr. Scrooge it took a while. In A Chirstmans Carol Act 1 Scrooge was visited by his old dead partner, Marley’s ghost. His friend tells him that he will be visited by three ghosts. In Act 11 Scrooge was visited by the Ghost of Christmas present. This ghost shows Scrooge the Cratchit family (Scrooge’s Employee). In Act 11 Scrooge sees MRs.Crachit and Mr.Cratchit toasting him. “.... a Merry Chirstams and a Happy New Year to you, Mr.Scrooge, wherever you may be on this day!”-Mrs.Cratchit. Scrooge was a mean and old man.

In Act 1 Scrooge was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past. The Ghost of Christmas Past showed little Scrooge in a school alone. Many things happened in Scrooge’s past that caused him to be mean, but this really caused Scrooge to get emotional. “It’s me [Pauses;Weeps] Poor boy. He lived inside his head…… alone…..Pauses;Weeps]”- Scrooge. Scrooge was alone and he remembers how painful it was. He remembers how he was inside his head and was rejected by his friends. “....A solitary child, neglected by his friends…”-Past. This was the very first thing that Past showed him. Scrooge doesn't know yet that this memory changed him. Scrooge becomes remorseful, he regrets things he has done. “There was a boy singing a Chirstmas Carol outside my door last night. I should have given him something…” Scrooge was changing from the very beginning. Just as his past changed Scrooge, his future did
