A colorful character, Ebenezer Scrooge is portrayed as a stingy, bitter, selfish and cold man. For example, in the book, it is stated that, "He carried his own cold temperature around with him." This proves that he is cold, supported by the many pieces of dialogue where he is seemingly heartless. This is especially supported when two men come into his shop, looking for donations for the poor. Scrooge, in short, didn't respond nicely. "I wish to be left alone," Said Scrooge, "Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don't make myself merry at Christmas, and I can't afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned, and those who are badly off must go there." The fundraisers mention that some people would rather die than go to debtor's prison. Scrooge simply responds, saying, "If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." Not only is Ebenezer Scrooge cold and selfish, he is also quite the pessimist, especially when it goes to Christmas. For example, one time Scrooge said, "Every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on their lips should be bailed with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of Holly through his heart!" This shows his detestation towards it- and his negativity towards it. This is proved again with his nephew invites Scrooge to dine with their family on Christmas, and Scrooge responded, "Yeah, I'll see you. I'll see you in Hell." Bouncing off of the last subject, Christmas- a time of love and giving- to Scrooge is merely a time to waste money- as that it all he cares about. For instance, in the first stave, Scrooge says to his nephew; "Merry Christmas! What right have you to be merry? You're poor enough." This demonstrates his belief that without money, happiness isn't possible. In the same stave, he also states, "What's Christmas-time to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, and not an hour richer; a time for balancing your books, and having every item in em' through a dozen of months presented dead against you?" This manifests his greed in a flagrant way, one that you simply can't ignore. Scrooge, in this stave especially, is avaricious beyond order and it is quite apparent. All in all, Scrooge is certainly the greediest human you could possibly ever meet: cold, emotionless, stingy. But will he stay that way?
Please tell me what I can correct, and I personally think the conclusion is a little wonky. -
