Question

You now know the entire story of A Christmas Carol. Think about who Scrooge was at the beginning of the story. Then compare and contrast that image to the person he becomes by the end of the story. Write about the differences in his behavior and the changes that he makes in his life. For example, at the beginning, Scrooge rejects a request for a charity donation. He says that he supports the establishment that runs prisons and workhouses, and those should be enough for the poor. In the final chapter, Scrooge finds one of the men he turned away for the charity request. Scrooge tells him that he will contribute to the charity fund as long as the man promises to keep his donation anonymous.

Answer 1

Reading in for the first time, you can see that Scrooge is a selfish and cruel old man. He denies wishes and needs for charities and people who need necesities. After reading the whole story, you see a whole different man than before. Scrooge became loving and generous. Donations were made by him towards charity. He has the spirit of Christmas that has taken control of his heart fully.

Answer 2

Answer: When we meet Scrooge, he is a miserly and cruel man. He dismisses everyone’s Christmas wishes and opportunities for charity and goodwill. By the end of the story, Scrooge becomes someone who loves charity and lives the message of Christmas every day. This change is most obvious in his changed relationship with his clerk, Bob Cratchit. Despite years of loyalty and quiet acceptance of his cruelty, Scrooge continued to pay Bob a low salary and grudgingly granted him leave on Christmas day. At the end, Scrooge not only raises Cratchit’s wages, but also becomes his friend. He even becomes a father figure to Cratchit’s son, Tiny Tim.
