Summary: "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens is a novella written in the early 19th century. The story primarily focuses on Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and cold-hearted man who is transformed after being visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and three spirits who represent Christmas Past, Present, and Future. The novella explores themes of redemption, compassion, and the true spirit of Christmas. At the start of this classic tale, we learn that the notorious miser Ebenezer Scrooge begrudgingly prepares for another Christmas, dismissing its joy and goodwill. The narrative introduces his deceased partner, Marley, whose ghost appears to warn Scrooge of the dire consequences of his selfishness and the potential for redemption through the visits from three spirits. Scrooge's chilling demeanor and contempt for Christmas come to life in his interactions—especially with his cheerful nephew, Fred, and his clerk, Bob Cratchit. Scrooge's staunch denial and refusal to embrace the holiday spirit lay the groundwork for his eventual confrontation with the ghosts who will challenge him to reflect on his past and reconsider his future.
