Scrooge s Character And His Character - Why Doesn t The...

Stave One 1. Describe Scrooge’s appearance and his character – why doesn’t the weather affect him? Scrooge is described as an â€Å"old sinner†, a heartless old man who, because he was so cold, had â€Å"frozen features† such as a nipped pointed nose, shriveled cheeks, stiffened gait, red eyes, blue lips, and had a grating voice. He also had white hair, beard and eyebrows. The weather doesn’t affect scrooge as he himself is just as cold as the wintry weather inside and out. 2. Describe the character of Scrooge’s nephew. Scrooge’s nephew is a genuine man and unlike his uncle loves Christmas. He seems to be happy and merry, with an adoring wife. They don’t seem to be particularly wealthy. 3. Summarise the arguments these two men present on both sides of the debate about Christmas. Scrooge’s nephew thinks that Christmas is a time of joy and laughter and believes it should be spent with family and friends. Scrooge on the other hand believes that it is a sorry excuse for holiday and is not worth celebrating, he also believes that it is a very expensive time that is not worth the money or time. 4. What has Marley’s ghost been doing since his death, and what is the warning that it gives Scrooge? He has been wandering the world witnessing things that he wishes he could speak about to those who need it to make them happy. He warns scrooge that if he does not change his ways Scrooge’s after life will be burdened by all his regrets during his short lifetime just like Marley himself. 5.
