Answer 2

Answer:

Scrooge goes through a metamorphosis, he manages, just in time as far as his age is concerned, to reinvent himself. He goes through a "learning process" when the ghost of his old business partner comes back from the dead momentarily to warn him about the shackles of sin; greed, selfishness, lack of consideration, insensitivity, meanness, or miserliness and where it has led him in the life after death. It has brought him nothing but sadness - but Scrooge can avoid it if he manages to solve his ways before his own death. This requires repenting, sorrow and genuine shame on Scrooge's part. At first he doesn't seem to be understanding the lesson - then there is a light in his life (he asks what will become of Tiny Tim and now seems to genuinely care.) The change in Scrooge is a change in spirit.
