Plot summary The story begins by establishing that Jacob Marley
Ebenezer Scrooge's business partner in "Scrooge & Marley
" was dead—the narrative begins seven years after his death to the very day
Christmas Eve. Scrooge and his clerk Bob Cratchit are at work in the counting-house with Cratchit stationed in the poorly heated "tank
" a victim of Scrooge's stinginess. Scrooge's nephew Fred es in to wish his uncle a "Merry Christmas" and invite him to Christmas dinner the next day. He is di *** issed by Scrooge. Two portly gentlemen collecting charitable donations for the poor
e in right after
but they are rebuffed by Scrooge. At the end of the workday Scrooge grudgingly allows Cratchit to take Christmas Day off
but to be all the earlier to work on the day after. Scrooge leaves the counting-house and eventually returns to his home
an isolated townhouse formerly owned by his late business partner
Jacob Marley. In keeping with his miserly character
Scrooge lives in a *** all suite of largely unfurnished rooms within the house which he keeps dark and cold. While he unlocks his door Scrooge is startled to see the ghostly face of Marley instead of the familiar appearance of his door knocker. Marley has e to warn Scrooge that his miserliness and contempt for others will subject him to the same fate Marley himself suffers in death
condemned to walk the earth in penitence since he had not done it in life in concern for mankind. A prominent symbol of Marley's torture is a heavy chain wound round his form that has attached to it symbolic objects from Marley's life fashioned out of heavy metal: ledgers
money boxes
keys
and the like. Marley explains that Scrooge's fate might be worse than his because Scrooge's chain was as long and as heavy as Marley's seven Christmases ago when Marley died
and Scrooge has been adding to his with his selfish life. Marley tells Scrooge that he has a chance to escape this fate through the visitation of three more spirits that will appear one by one. Scrooge is shaken but not entirely convinced that the foregoing wasn't a hallucination
and goes to bed thinking that a good night's sleep will make him feel better. At one o'clock in the morning the first spirit appears and introduces himself to Scrooge as The Ghost of Christmas Past. This spirit leads Scrooge on a journey into some of happiest and saddest moments of Scrooge's past. These include the mistreatment of Scrooge by his uncaring father
the loss of a great love sacrificed for his devotion to business
and the death of his sister
the only other person who ever showed love and passion for him. Visions provided by the second spirit
The Ghost of Christmas Present
show him the meagre Christmas celebrations of the Cratchit family
the sweet nature of their crippled son
Tiny Tim
and a possible early death for the child; this prospect is the immediate catalyst for his change of heart. They also show the faith of Scrooge's nephew in his uncle's potential for change
a concept that slowly warms Scrooge to the idea that he can reinvent himself. The visit of the third spirit
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come
a grim spectre much more frightening that the other spirits
harrows Scrooge with visions of the Cratchit family bereft of Tiny Tim
of Scrooge's own lonely death and final torment
and the cold
avaricious reactions of the people around him after his passing. Without explicitly being said
Scrooge can avoid his own fate
and that of Tiny Tim – but only if he changes.

佢咩都唔钟意
至钟意就系佢d钱~圣诞前夕
佢个已死旧partner Jacob Marley返黎揾佢
Jacob全身都系锁链(即系金钱既奴隶咁既样)话俾佢听
迟d会有三只精灵揾佢
仲话佢仲有改过既机会
如果唔系佢死左之后就会好似Jacob自己咁~ 之后三只精灵带左佢去睇Scrooge既过去(一个先视甚高既人)
现在(唔理人死活
只顾钱)
将来(病死左之后
冇人去拜佢
