Dickens uses joy and humor to depict the protagonist who is "light as a feather" "happy as an angel" "merry as a school boy" and even as "giddy as an drunken man". With every simile Scrooge is portrayed as full of life and emotion. Adjectives "happy, light, merry and giddy" contrast the the person we met in stave 1. He has changed as a person.
Scrooge feels a "pang across his heart"when he encounters the charity collectors he insulted the day before. Scrooge takes this moment to correct his actions and donates giving "a great many back payments". This reflects that Scrooge is making up for his mean and selfish years. He doesn't except thanks for giving the money. As he knows that his job is to care for others without needing gratitiude.
