Charles Dickens creates Scrooge’s character by describing him in various different forms. Just like the following:
“but he was tight-fisted”In this small quote Charles Dickens refers to Scrooge as tight-fisted ( means someone that is not willing to spend or give much money)which is exactly what Scrooge is, a person that only wants to make money for himself but not to share it out but to actually keep and not spend it in anything else.Charles then says “The cold within him froze his old features”This gives the reader and idea that Scrooge was never like this, he did have a good side apart from the “a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner”So this means somewhere in the past Scrooge did have a warm heart and did get well with others and possibly even shared money .
“External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge”Charles says this to give the reader the thought that no type of temperature or weather could change Scrooge’s emotion apart from the ones described above so this means that Scrooge only had 1 goal and this was to save as much money as he can and spend almost nothing.This would relate to him not having many conversations with others seeing as people do tend to change mood depending to the weather and temperature.”Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with gladsome looks”This is very obvious why.No one will ever want to talk to someone that is very anti-social and those not think on anything else but money so no one want to talk to him apart from his employee Bob.
