a christmas carol
On Christmas Eve, four ghosts teach Scrooge, an elderly miser, that love and friendship are much more important than amassing a fortune. The first ghost is that of Marley, his former business partner, who warns him about the suffering awaiting him if he does not change. The three other ghosts reveal to Scrooge scenes from his past, present and future. After witnessing these scenes, Scrooge is a changed man.
Chapter 1
Scrooge is a cold, hard man who loves money more than people. For him, the worst part of the year is Christmas, a time in which even the poor make merry. This Christmas Eve, after rejecting his nephew’s invitation to Christmas dinner, Scrooge is visited by two kind gentlemen who are
collecting money for the poor. Not only does he refuse to give them any, he also suggests that poor people should be kept in prisons and workhouses. After dinner, he receives another visit, that of his long dead partner, Marley, who warns him that his miserly behaviour will make him suffer for eternity, unless he follows the advice of three ghosts that will come to see him very soon.
Chapter 2
The first ghost, that of Past Christmases, shows him scenes from his life as a schoolboy and a young man. We learn that he had a sad and lonely childhood, but that he won the heart of a lovely woman whom he lost through his greater love for money.
Chapter 3
The second ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Now, show Scrooge that people can spend a happy Christmas day even without much money. He shows him Fred, his nephew, and Bob, his employee, enjoying Christmas with their families. However, the ghost also shows him two
sad sights: that of Bob’s ailing son and that of two other children who represent all the poor and ignorant children in the world.
Chapter 4
The third ghost, the Ghost of Future Christmases, shows Scrooge scenes after his death. Everybody is happy that he has died. Only the Cratchit family is very sad – their son
Tiny Tim has passed away. It is then than Scrooge begs the ghost to let him change such a horrible future.
Chapter 5
When Scrooge wakes up after the visits have ended, he realizes it is only Christmas morning. He orders a large goose to be sent to the Cratchits, promises to help the poor and dines at his nephew’s house. Scrooge, now a changed man, becomes a second father to Tiny Tim, who,
fortunately, does not die young.
