This classic tale explores themes of redemption, compassion, and the spirit of Christmas through the character of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man. The story unfolds as Scrooge is haunted by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and visited by three spirits who aim to change his perspective on life and Christmas. The opening of the novella introduces Scrooge as a cold-hearted and stingy man, firmly rejecting the warmth and joy associated with Christmas. We learn of his disdain for the holiday through an encounter with his cheerful nephew and a pair of gentlemen seeking charitable donations for the poor. Scrooge's dismal demeanor is punctuated by Marley's ghostly visitation, which serves to set the stage for the transformative journey that will follow. As Marley warns Scrooge of the consequences of his greed and lack of kindness, he sets the foundation for the forthcoming visits from the three spirits, promising a chance for Scrooge to change his fate.
