In the first paragraphs of "A Christmas Carol," the reader learns Scrooge is unpleasant and greedy, as is shown when the narrator describes his interactions.

Who is Scrooge?

Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character in the famous story "A Christmas Carol." At the beginning of the story, we quickly learn the following about Scrooge:

  • He is unpleasant and generally disliked.
  • He does not give away his money, not even to help the poor.
  • He does not care about warmth, be it physical or emotional.
  • He wants people to stay away from him.

Since the question asks us to cite examples from the text, here are a few words taken from the first paragraphs:

  • Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with gladsome looks, “My dear Scrooge, how are you?"
  • [...] warning all human sympathy to keep its distance...
  • No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him.
  • No beggars implored him to bestow a trifle.
