Answer and Explanation:
Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Scrooge is a grumpy old man who hates Christmas. He is also greedy and cold-hearted. Scrooge is visited by three ghosts who show him his past, present, and future. Victim of a neglected childhood, if Scrooge does not change his way of treating others, he will end up dying alone.
How do you think Scrooge changed his life after these experiences with the ghosts?
I believe the ghosts helped Scrooge understand the reasons behind his grumpiness. He was neglected by his father as a child, so his aggressive behavior toward others is but a way of protecting himself and his feelings. He is just trying to keep suffering at bay. However justifiable his behavior is, it is keeping people away from Scrooge. He will end up dying alone after driving everyone, even his own family, away.
<u>Now that he is aware of that, Scrooge is likely to be kinder and more patient. Instead of being greedy, he will help others with his money. Instead of being grumpy, he will be joyful. I imagine Scrooge becomes the complete opposite of the person he was at the beginning of the story. He will greet others with a smile, wish them a happy Christmas, invite his family over for dinner, give away presents, etc. For the rest of his life, Scrooge will be surrounded by people.</u>
In this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's, "The Death of Ivan Ilych" that suggests that Ivan Ilych tried his best to escape from the reality of his troubled family life is <em>He attained this by spending less and less time with his family, and when obliged to be at home he tried to safeguard his position by the presence of outsiders</em>. As he has previously been speaking of how to free himself from the unpleasantness of his family life, this is the best example of how he did it.
