There a a number but the most prominent in the opening of stave one is -
"Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.
Dickens uses adjectives such as "covetous," "grasping," "squeezing," "clutching," and "hard and sharp as flint" to emphasize Scrooge's extreme greed and miserliness. These descriptors help paint a vivid picture of Scrooge's character and his insatiable desire for wealth.
The word 'Scrooge' is a noun, not an adjective. It is the name of a fictional character, so it takes an initial capital letter. Ebenezer Scrooge was a miser, so to call someone 'a Scrooge' is to call him a miser. Misers are mean rather than greedy: they hoard their wealth rather than use it to create pleasure (either for themselves or for other people). 'Greedy' does not quite convey the essential characteristic of a Scrooge.
Dickens shows how greedy Scrooge was by telling about how he walked pass beggars and didn't give them money, and Scrooge didn't want to give Bob the day off on Christmas.
In addition to Scrooge's transformation, Dickens includes changes in the physical appearance of the ghosts who visit Scrooge, representing the progression of time and the impact of their messages on Scrooge's perspective. Dickens also showcases changes in Scrooge's relationships with others as he begins to show kindness, compassion, and generosity towards those around him.
Charles Dickens likely presented the spirits in time order in "A Christmas Carol" to show Scrooge the progression and impact of his past, present, and future actions. By leading Scrooge through his life in this structured way, Dickens emphasized the importance of reflecting on one's choices and their long-term consequences. This approach also allowed Scrooge to witness the growth and change that can occur over time, encouraging him to make positive changes in the present.
Dickens creates sympathy for Scrooge by portraying his lonely and neglected childhood, his loss of love and connection with others, and his redemption journey through the visits of the spirits. Through these experiences, readers see the underlying reasons for Scrooge's cold and miserly nature, leading to a deeper understanding and compassion for his character.

The fourth ghost that visited Scrooge was the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Its purpose was to show Scrooge the consequences of his actions if he continued down his selfish and greedy path, specifically by revealing a future where he dies alone and unloved. The ghost's visit ultimately serves as a final warning for Scrooge to change his ways and seek redemption.
The spirit shows Scrooge his own headstone in the book.
