Scrooge

Ebenezer Scrooge is a rich and old man who loves money more than people. He hates Christmas and giving money to the poor people. He rejects a Christmas dinner invitation, and he overworks his working man, Bob Cratchit.

Marley's ghost

At night, Scrooge's partner Jacob Marley, dead for seven years, visits him in the form of a ghost. He has come to warn Scrooge and save him. He tells him Three Spirits will come to him over the next three nights.

Ghost of Christmas past The first ghost, that of Past Christmas, shows him scenes from his life as a young man. He had a sad and lonely childhood, but he won the heart of a good woman whom he lost through his love for money.

The second ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Now, shows Scrooge that people can spend a happy Christmas day without much money. He shows him Fred, his nephew, and Bob, his working man, 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.
