Stave 1:
Hard and sharp as flint
Solitary as an oyster
Edge his way along the crowded paths of life
Darkness is cheap and scrooge liked it
Kindred spirits
(Relating Jacob and Scrooge to be very similar)
Squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!
Are there no prisons?
Decrease the surplus population
One coal
(to Bob Cratchit)
Bah Humbug
(contrast to S5 merry Christmas)
I wear the chains I forged in life.
Mankind was his business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy,
forbearance and benevolence were all my business
-Jacob Marley
Piercing, searching, biting cold
Meanwhile the fog and darkness thickened
External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge.
