- W3009595598 abstract "This essay investigates Scrooge`s conversion from a self-contained miser into a compassionate philanthropist through the examination of his growing understanding of what time is and what means to have time. Before the visits by the Ghosts, Scrooge has been striving to believe that he can live in a timeless space, but in fact he has been living almost like an inanimate object that merely exists in time. I contend that his regeneration is brought forth by his realization that he, as a being with free will, has time-that is, he has past, present, and future. Scrooge`s passive relation to time can be most prominently demonstrated by his inability to comprehend the reality of death, which is the inevitable consequence of living a life without a past, a present, or a future. Through the visions shown by the Ghost of Christmas Past, Scrooge is given an opportunity to re-experience some important moments of his past and thereby regains his capacity for emotion. With a great focus on vivid descriptions of food, the visions of Christmas Present help Scrooge recognize the importance of being able to enjoy life in the present moment. Finally, by being forced by the Ghost of Christmas Future to witness the moment after his death against his will and against the logic of the natural law, Scrooge not only confronts the reality of his own death but also learns to value and appreciate the unpredictability of the future. Determined not to become the dead man he has seen in the visions of Christmas Future, Scrooge wholeheartedly embraces the openness of the future that leaves room for changing what he has seen in the visions and begins exercising his free will to enjoy and share pleasures of life with other people. Not all human beings are endowed with endless possibilities of life even when they have time, but fortunately for Scrooge, his author was kind enough to reward him with opportunities for doing it all, and infinitely more(133)." @default.
