In the allegory that is A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is the very antithesis of the Christmas spirit, symbolizing selfishness and apathy. His character serves as a vehicle by which Dickens is able to critique a more general, but no less cruel, upper class.
Dickens uses Scrooge’s character to highlight the ideal way of celebrating Christmas by introducing an emotional element to the celebration. He promotes the idea that Christmas is a time for charity and compassion through Scrooge’s behaviour in the final stave.
