Abstract

A bitter old miser who rationalizes his uncaring nature learns real compassion when three spirits visit him on Christmas Eve.

Description

Ebenezer Scrooge is a hard-nosed, single-minded businessman in Victorian London. He has no friends, has disowned his only living relative--his nephew Fred Holywell--and generally treats everyone he meets with extreme contempt. He hates Christmas, only cares about making money and only grudgingly gives his clerk Bob Cratchit the day off. However, he is taught the true meaning and spirit of Christmas by three ghosts who show him his own past and present--and what the future holds for him if he doesn't improve his behavior.
