“Scrooge does better than he says. He all does it, and very much until not account, and for Tiny Tim, he did not die, Scrooge became his second’s father.”
In this novel the author was the direct illustration of the main character, that Scrooge is a successful businessman. Many people know him in the business world. Many businesses come to him. According to Graham Little (1966), it includes a personality who is a good businessman. It can be seen by following statements: “…but that he was an excellent man of business on the very day of the funeral,”
Scrooge has a partner. Until he has a firm with his partner. They have been cooperating for many years. Until his firm knew many businesses. And many businesses come into his office and recognize them. Many businesses cannot differentiate between them. Until his partner died. Many businesses call him by his partner’s name. He is developing his firm with his clerk. According to Graham Little (1966), it includes a personality who is a good businessman and a kind of person who creates the condition. It can be supported by following statements:
“…Sometimes people new to the business called Scrooge, and sometimes Marley, but he answered to both names. It was all the same to him.”
Besides that, he is a miserly man who was an undoubted bargain for his partners. In here, the author directly illustrated who the main character never respected with the other people every day. He only cares about himself and his wealth. He is an accountant, and he does not like disturb. So, he is always busy with his world. He likes to live alone without friends, love, children, and family. He doesn't like to be noisy. According to Graham Little (1966). It includes a personality who does not care about the condition around him. It can be seen following statements: “…on the very day of the funeral and solemnized it with an undoubted bargain.”
Although they are a partner, Scrooge never feels dreadfully cut up by the sad event. So, he looks like that with his friend, and it can look like that with the other people, too. He pretended to respect his partner before died. So, I think it is the reason why Scrooge does it with his partner?
Besides that, the author described the Scrooge as accounting people with his clerk. So, his clerk looks very pitiful. He is working with only a little light that cannot help him to do a good job. He cannot fill the fire again. But his clerk was silent about it. He only tries to do a good job to get Scrooge not angry with him and not cut his pay. According to Graham Little (1966) it is a personality. It can be seen following statement:
“Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk’s fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal. But he couldn’t replenish it, …”
Scrooge never feels pity for the other people. He always keeps something to himself. And will not distribute with the other. He is always economical. And he always keeps good. He looks like a stingy person. So, his clerk was only silent. Although he does not feel comfortable working with him.
It can be supported with other statement:
“… for Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room; and so surely as the clerk came in with the shovel, the master predicted that it would be necessary for them to part.”
In addition, Scrooge illustrated himself, too. He always lives lonely.
But he likes it. He lives without friends, love, children, family, etc. He is
lonely. He does not like noise. So, he is always calm and quiet every day, every time and
for many years. He lives differently with other people around him. He doesn't seem to need other people in his life. According to Graham Little (1966) it is a careless personality for Scrooge. It can be supported in the following dialogs:
“I wish to be left alone,” said Scrooge.
Because he lives alone. He lives in darkness every day. Without light around him. So, he always lives without needing other people. And it can make him very bad. If he always lives lonely, it can make him not respect and not know other people in around him. It can be supported with this dialogs Scrooge with the other people:
“Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don’t make Merry myself at Christmas and I can’t afford to make idle people merry.”

In his dialogues he explains that he is not caring with other people. He dislikes contributing anything with other people. He does not like if any people ask to contribute to poor people who they never work for. So, he thinks he is
working to live. And he never cares and never contributes anything with the poor people. It includes not caring about the condition around him. So, according to Graham Little (1966) it can be supported by the following dialog:
“‘If they would rather die,’ said Scrooge.”
It can be forceful with his comment. He is very creditor to everyone.
He dislikes contributing to poor people. Because they only demand other people and not work. So, he was like if they decrease. It includes not caring about the condition around him. So, according to Graham Little (1966) it can be supported following dialog: “they had better do it and decrease the surplus populations.”
Scrooge illustrated himself in the dialog. In this dialog he just insults and berates. While him only boasting himself. He felt rich and entitled to do whatever he wants with what he has. According to Graham Little (1966) this illustration includes carelessness. So, it is a personality trait. It can be supported by the following dialog: What’s Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money.
He feels rich. And he is very arrogant because he has nothing and a lot of money. So, he feels reserve do anything. But he does not respect other people.
