You're over analyzing, it's a Disney Adapation of A Christmas Carol. Make your own decision.

This is a Disney adaptation of A Christmas Carol. No, Scrooge wasn't dreaming, at least not about the Jacob Marley's ghost. Jacob Marley's spirit started appearing before he even got in his house. (His front doorknob turned into Jacob's head). Jacob interviened for his old friend to give him a chance to avoid the fate he'd made for himself. One could argue Jacob only intended to scare him and the three other spirits were products of Scrooge's deams. Anyway, The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, whether dreams or real, remind Scrooge of the good loving person he was when he was young, and show him the consequences of his greedy actions. This intervention causes Scrooge to change his ways.

a christmas carol is not intended to be dream - it's "a ghost story for christmas." i mean sure, there is nothing PROVING it was real and not a dream, but i believe it is meant to be a supernatural story involving real ghosts showing scrooge these things.


There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them.

Xmas Carol is supposed to be ambiguous as to whether or not E. Scrooge was or was not dreaming. The important thing is that Scrooge becomes kind hearted in the aftermath of the visitations/hallucinations/nightmares (whatever you wish to call them or however you want to interpret the story).

ghosts visit him to show him the errors of his ways (capitalism) and convert him to the light (socialism) so there like Jesus or Obama

reply

A needless spin I feel Jack, Scrooge will continue to have chased the almighty sovereign but, rather than become a socialist, became a human being.

He was never a very pious man.
