How Is Scrooge Presented In The Christmas Carol

“ Money is power, freedom, a cushion, the root of all evil, the sum of blessings, ” said Carl Sandburg. Throughout the story A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, he shares a clear message about wealth or having an abundance of money. The love of money can make mankind greedy and hateful, but wealth can also be used for thoughtful and generous purposes. His view goes hand in hand with the teachings of the Bible.
