The Dickensian Aspect

We all know what is poverty.Poverty is a not something you decide to chose for.It is more like a raffle out of the 255(average birth rate per minute worldwide)but that is not the bad part. The bad part is when you have someone that actually has loads of money and buying someone a meal deal will not affect the income of the rich person,yet we still see these greedy people who have no consideration for the poor and even think they should be giving less than what they are already giving(Like when Scrooge says to Bob Cratchit “15 BOB” as to say 15 shilling in the Victorian times.)There are also other types of poverty’s which can be caused by yourself”Spiritual poverty ” something that “Scrooge” had.

People can have Spiritual poverty as stated above.I refer to Scrooge  because he was a man that was non religious he only hoped in his mind that he would die and he would just leave everything behind he did not have what us believers call “hope” knowing that some of us hopes actually gives that relief of stress sometimes or even make you become a better person e.g. when someone randomly comes to you and hits you for no reason you could just say in your mind and “hope” that god get him back .

Intellectual poverty this is exactly what MR Scrooge is it when he believes nothing is better than him or he cannot improve himself n matter how much he tries to improve himself. Just like in the scenes when he is with the ghost of future ad he sees the couple says “oh yh Scrooge he was always lonely” This gives us the idea that he just never had another different type of lifestyle he stayed lonely which does not necessary mean with a girlfriend or wife but just some type of relative that would support him.In a matter of fact he did have his nephew to support him but yet again Scrooge denied the idea of him actually accepting the Christmas invitation knowing that Scrooge cannot be a better person than what he is already.

Poverty of Solidarity this is what Scrooge definitely has, he doesn’t accept his own family as being his companions.Family is something that comes automatically but the real thing is, friends you need to have these to help you out and in life to get these you earn them depending on what things you do as you know his only friend was Marley
