A Christmas Carol

Scrooge

"Hard and sharp as flint"

"Solitary as an oyster"

"I am as light as a feather"

"No wind that blew was bitterer than he"

"An odious, stingy, hard, unfeeling man"

"A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner"

"I will not shut out the lessons that they teach"

"As good a man as the good old city knew"

"...he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge"

Jacob Marley

Marley's ghost has come to warn Scrooge

"I wear the chain I forged in life"

"I made it link by link"

Fred

"A good time, a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time"

"Bob told them of the extraordinary kindness of Scrooge's nephew"

"I am sorry for him"

Ghost of Christmas Past

"But the relentless ghost pinioned him in both his arms and forced him to observe"

Ghost of Christmas Present

"There sat a jolly giant glorious to see"

Ghost of Christmas yet to come

"Scrooge feared the silent shape so much that his legs trembled beneath him"

Cratchits

"God bless us everyone"

"Spirit of Tiny Tim, Thy childish essence was from God!"

Charity Collectors

"Want is keenly felt and abundance rejoices"

"They had better do it, and decrease the surplus population"

"This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want..."

"I'm as merry as a school boy"

"Bah, Humbug?"

"So a merry Christmas, uncle!"
