Stave one

Seven years after the passing of Ebenezer Scrooge’s business partner, Jacob Marley, A Christmas Carol pdf begins on a gloomy, chilly Christmas Eve in London. 

Aging miser Scrooge, who despises Christmas, declines an invitation to supper from his nephew Fred, who is the child of Fan, Scrooge’s deceased sister. 

He refuses two men who beg him for money to buy food and heat for the poor, and grudgingly grants his overworked, underpaid employee, 

Bob Cratchit, a paid holiday from work on Christmas Day in order to follow social convention.

Marley’s ghost, who roams the Earth bound by hefty chains and money boxes built during a lifetime of greed and selfishness, pays Scrooge a visit that evening at his home. 

Scrooge will be visited by three spirits, and he must listen to them or be cursed to carry much heavier chains of his own, Marley warns. He has just one opportunity to avoid the same destiny.

Stave two

The first ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Past, transports Scrooge to holiday scenes from his boyhood to bring back memories of a more innocent time.

Fezziwig, who treated him like a son are all depicted here. When Belle realizes that Scrooge will never love her as much as he loves money, she decides to end their relationship.

Scrooge is told by the ghost that Tiny Tim would pass away if nothing is done to alter the path of events. 

After that, the ghost and Scrooge journey to Christmas celebrations in a miner’s cabin, a lighthouse, and a ship at sea.
