Scrooge is portrayed as a selfish man at the start of the novel. He is described as, 'a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!'
Scrooge is a very isolated character and is said to be, 'hard and sharp as flint' as well as, 'solitary as an oyster'
He is a very bitter character and in the novel it says that, 'No wind that blew was bitterer than he'
Scrooge is unsympathetic towards other and doesn't accept donating to charity. He also thinks that paying taxes is enough.
Charles Dickens describes Scrooge as cold and icy. A good quote to back this up is, 'froze his old features'.
