Scrooge is first presented as a miserly, unpleasant man. He rejects all offerings of Christmas cheer and celebration as 'Humbug!'. But on Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him that he will be visited by three other ghosts. Each of the ghosts shows him a scene that strikes fear and regret into his heart and eventually he softens.
By the end of the story, Scrooge is a changed man, sharing his wealth and generosity with everyone.

Ebenezer Scrooge is the ​protagonist​ (main character) of ‘A Christmas Carol’. He is a banker or ‘moneylender’ of sorts who owned his own ‘counting house’ alongside his late business partner Jacob Marley.

In the opening of the novella, Scrooge is presented as a miserly ​and ​misanthropic ​(someone who dislikes other people) businessman with a strong aversion to Christmas and the society around him in general. :)

Iin Pygmalion, which of these best describes the effect the unexpected inheritance has on Alfred Doolittle?
Kaylis [27]
Alfred Doolittle is a smooth-talking garbage man, a serial monogamist (although he's not always really<span> married), a drunk, and a deadbeat dad. He's got a lot to say about "middle class morality" and complicated theories about the deserving and undeserving poor. He has principles, too, but they're not exactly conventional: he has no trouble milking five pounds from Higgins, but he doesn't want anymore than that. He wants just enough money to have a few drinks and some fun.</span>

In order to understand Doolittle, you have to understand how he speaks. This exchange is notable:

<span>DOOLITTLE ["most musical, most melancholy"] I'll tell you, Governor, if you'll only let me get a word in. I'm willing to tell you. I'm wanting to tell you. I'm waiting to tell you.

HIGGINS. Pickering: this chap has a certain natural gift of rhetoric. Observe the rhythm of his native woodnotes wild. "I'm willing to tell you: I'm wanting to tell you: I'm waiting to tell you." Sentimental rhetoric! That's the Welsh strain in him. It also accounts for his mendacity and dishonesty.</span><span> (2.232-3)</span>

He is the sum of his mysterious speaking ability. You can describe what Doolittle's saying with all sorts of fancy Greek words, but it's enough to note how he repeats those three phrases that Higgins singles out, and how his speech is sort of singsong-y. Whether or not we believe what Doolittle's talking about doesn't matter, it sounds nice. These skills get Doolittle into trouble when Higgins nominates him for some such speaking position…and he gets it, along with a generous income. He can't handle all the money; he doesn't want to be "touched" – asked to spare some change – in the same way he touched Higgins.

<span>Doolittle demonstrates how powerful and potentially dangerous words can be. Lucky for us, his intentions are (mostly) honorable. He's the character most prone to lecturing – yes, even more so than Higgins – and though his theories may not be entirely logical, his little sermons do raise some issues regarding class relations. Think of him this way: he's a stereotype of a drunken poor guy…with an oratorical twist.</span>

"First impressions are always unreliable"
enyata [817]

Answer:

Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and

intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his

lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend

and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod. The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic

tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to

less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the

exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this

volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination

become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole.
