Plot summary
A Christmas Carol is a Victorian morality tale of an old and bitter miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, who undergoes an intense experience of salvation over the course of one evening. Mr Scrooge is a financier who has devoted his life to the accumulation of wealth and has no regards for friendship, love and the Christmas season.

Dickens divides his work into five "staves" instead of chapters. The story begins by establishing that Jacob Marley, Scrooge's business partner in the firm of Scrooge & Marley, was dead the story begins seven years after his death to the very day, Christmas Eve. Scrooge and his clerk, Bob Cratchit, are at work in the counting-house. Scrooge's nephew, Fred, enters to wish his uncle a "Merry Christmas" and invite him to Christmas dinner the next day.

Scrooge wakes at the stroke of one. After more than fifteen minutes, he rises and finds the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present. The spirit shows him the small Christmas celebrations of the Cratchit family. This prospect is the immediate catalyst for his change of heart. They also show the faith of Scrooge's nephew in his uncle's potential for change. The Ghost also reveals two pitiful children who personify the major causes of suffering in the world, "Ignorance" and "Want". At the end of the visitation, the bell strikes twelve. The Ghost of Christmas Present vanishes and the third spirit appears to Scrooge.

The Ghost of Christmas takes the form of a grim ghost. This spirit frightens Scrooge more than the others, and harrows him with visions of the Cratchit family bereft of Tiny Tim, of Scrooge's own lonely death. Scrooge learns that he can avoid the future he has been shown. In the end, Scrooge changes his life as he was in his youth before the death of his sister.

Dickens wraps up the story with a "happily ever after" ending in two short paragraphs telling us that sickly Tiny Tim survives and stingy Ebenezer Scrooge becomes renowned for his newfound goodness.
