Marley's face. It was not in impenetrable shadow as the other objects
in the yard were, but had a dismal light about it, like a bad lobster in
a dark cellar. Ebenezer Scrooge is unimpressed by Christmas. He has no
time for festivities or goodwill toward his fellow men and is only
interested in money. Then, on the night of Christmas Eve, his life is
changed by a series of ghostly visitations that show him some bitter
truths about his choices. Dickens' most influential book is a funny,
clever, and hugely enjoyable story.
