Appendix 1 Summary
A Christmas Carol
By Charles DickensEbenezer Scrooge, a miserly, cold-hearted creditor, continues his stingy,
greedy ways on Christmas Eve. He is too cheap to heat his office, too cheap to give his clerk Christmas Day off without demanding he come in early the next day, and too cheap to care about the suffering of the poor people all around him.He rejects a Christmas dinner invitation, and all the good tidings of the
holiday, from his jolly nephew, Fred, a good-natured man who tries to celebrate
the holiday with his uncle; he yells at charity workers; and he overworks his
employee, Bob Cratchit. At night, Scrooge's former partner Jacob Marley, dead
for seven years, visits him in the form of a ghost. Marley's spirit has been wandering since he died as punishment for being consumed with business and not with people while alive. He has come to warn Scrooge and perhaps save him from the same fate. He tells him Three Spirits will come to him over the next three nights.
Scrooge falls asleep and wakes up in the next morning; Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, a small, elderly figure. The ghost walks to the window and orders Scrooge to accompany him, but Scrooge asserts that he will fall. The Ghost shows Scrooge scenes from the past that trace Scrooge's development from a young boy, lonely but with the potential for happiness, to a young man with the first traces of greed that would deny love in his life. He is shocked to see a young Scrooge, an imaginative boy that daydreams about characters out of Ali Baba and Robinson Crusoe. Suddenly it is the same scene a few years later, when Scrooge's little sister, Fan, excitedly tells him that their father said he can come home this year. Scrooge shows newfound emotion when revisiting these scenes, often crying from identification with his former neglected self.
Scrooge goes to sleep and is awakened by the Ghost of Christmas Present, a giant carrying a torch with a life span of one day. His room is decorated with wreaths and holly and delicious-smelling foods. This spirit takes Scrooge through London, where shopkeepers are joyfully setting out baskets of food and happy people are doing last minute shopping. As people pass with their dinners, the Spirit sprinkles some kind of seasoning on it with his torch, and they become even happier. He shows Scrooge several current scenes of Christmas joy and charity, and then shows him the Cratchit’s household. His clerk, Bob Cratchit, Mrs. Cratchit and some of the children are preparing the Christmas dinner.. The Ghost informs Scrooge that unless the future is changed, the Cratchit's crippled and
good-hearted young son, Tiny Tim, will die. He also shows Scrooge the party at
Fred's house. Finally, a ragged boy and girl crawl out from the Ghost's robes. The Ghost calls them Ignorance and Want and warns Scrooge to beware of Ignorance.
Next, they visit an impoverished mining camp. There, they see cheerful people celebrating Christmas despite heart-wrenching poverty. They go to a ship out at sea to find the ship's crew also making the best of the holiday. They observe a party at the house of Scrooge's nephew and see Fred's family playing games, eating, and laughing. When Scrooge's name is brought up, Fred expresses his pity for him. Yet most of his guests think of Scrooge as a nasty, foolish old man.
The silent, black-clad Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come replaces the other
ghost, which is shrouded in black and does not speak. He shows Scrooge several scenes of people discussing someone's death; no one seems pained by the death, and most are happy about it. Scrooge does not know, however, who the man is. He learns that Tiny Tim has died, but the Cratchits maintain their unity and love. Scrooge finally discovers that he is the one who has died and whose death has only pleased people. The spirit takes him to a churchyard and shows him a grave with his own name on it. Scrooge falls to his knees and begs for the chance to change He expresses the hope that these scenes of the future can be changed, and vows to incorporate the lessons of the past, present, and future into his adoption of the Christmas spirit.
Eventually, Scrooge becomes like a second father to Tiny Tim, taking care of his medical bills so that he regains his health. In future years he is aware that people find his change of personality strange, but he realizes how fortunate he is to have a second chance.
