- Characters and
how they are
presented
- Scrooge: At the start he is still
unaware of the consequences of
his actions in afterlife. However, in
the end, he declares that he will
change his ways.
- The ghost of Christmas Yet to
Come: This ghost is presented
as quite serious and dark at
the beginning of the stave but
throughout, the ghost starts to
sympathise with Scrooge.
- Business men: They
represent the greedy
rich with the way that
they always want
more. They are rude
and hypocritical
towards Scrooge's
death.
- People with
opinions towards
Scrooge's death:
They all reference
Scrooge to the devil
and as a nuisance
to society. They all
posses horrible
views towards
Scrooge's death.
- The Cratchits: Yet again,
they are presented as a
nice, caring family. They
are mourning the death
of their youngest but
are still grateful for
everything.
- Scrooge: At the start he is still
unaware of the consequences of
his actions in afterlife. However, in
the end, he declares that he will
change his ways.
- Dickens' intentions of
the plot/themes
- Dickens intended
to use the spirit to
show Scrooge that
what he did during
his life would ruin
the way people
viewed him after
life.
- Dickens
wanted to
highlight his
theme of
solving
poverty by
getting the
rich to help
out the poor
more rather
than using
prisons and
workhouses.
