Ebenezer Scrooge was a grumpy old man who loved nothing more than money. That all started to change when he was visited by three spirits. Each night when the clock chimed and three spirits would visit.The three spirits are known as Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas yet to come. Each taught him a lesson and caused him to change in the end.
The first ghost that came was Christmas Past. The first thing this ghost showed him is how Scrooge was as a child. Scrooge was very isolated and neglected as a child. Which affected him as an adult too. The play “A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley” states that “Past: Look,you,sir, a school ahead. The schoolroom is not deserted. A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still” This shows how he was as a kid and it affected him in his Adulthood.

Present showed Scrooge what people really thought of him. The spirit took Scrooge to his nephews home, and he had come to realize that they were talking about him.

He became very forlorn and wanted to become visible. Then the spirit's time grew short and then the next spirit came. The spirit of Christmas Yet to Come or known as Past, came next. This spirit did not speak. Scrooge became petrified with what the peculiar spirit showed. The play says “ Scrooge: OooOooOOooOOOOO”. Scrooge is dead and he made a very discomforting sound. The play continues to say “All: HahaHaHaHaHAAAA” They people were making fun and Scrooge came to realize how he needed to change his life before he died. He wanted to be remembered; not just as some heartless person that no one would care
