Personality

Role
  • Frightening: "Scrooge feared the silent shape so much that his legs trembled beneath him"
  • Mysterious: "It seemed to scatter gloom and mystery"
  • Resolute: "the Spirit did not stay for anything"
  • Represents Scrooge's future
  • The ghost is "shrouded in a deep black garment" - its mysterious appearance implies that the future cannot be known for sure

Development (Growth & change)

Other information              
  • It's only when Scrooge begins to beg that the ghost shows any emotion at all - its "kind hand trembled" which could suggest the ghost pita Scrooge
  • Similar in appearance to the Grim Reaper, which Victorian readers would've recognised as a symbol of approaching death
