This offers an in-depth character analysis of Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," specifically focusing on who he was before his famous transformation. The piece explores Scrooge's worldview, his relationship with Jacob Marley, and the societal conditions of Victorian London that shaped his character. Rather than simply portraying him as a one-dimensional villain, the article examines the complex factors that led to his isolation and misanthropy, including his lost relationships, his business partnership with Marley, and the harsh realities of Victorian capitalism. It concludes just as Marley's ghost appears to warn Scrooge of the three spirits, setting the stage for his eventual redemption.
