Was Scrooge dreaming

Answer 1

Yes, in "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, Scrooge experiences a series of vivid dreams during the course of the story. These dreams are a crucial part of his transformation as a character, leading him to reflect on his past actions and ultimately change his ways.

Answer 2

In the original book Scrooge goes to the local tavern on his way home for a small libation and a morsel of supper, he spent the night looking through his bankers book. Only at closing time did he make his way back to his home. There is no suggestion that he was under the influence of alcohol at all only that it was late. Therefore its is believed that the "visions" he experienced were in fact real

Answer 3

Although Marley's ghost tells Scrooge that the spirits will visit him on consecutive nights, they all do visit Scrooge in one night.

1. We see Scrooge give Cratchit the following day off because it is Christmas Day.

2. Scrooge wakes the following morning and asks the child on the street what day is it. The child informs him that it is Christmas day. Scrooge remarks that the spirits did it all in one night.

Why did Marley say it would take three nights yet the spirits only took one? Scrooge answers that himself: "They can do anything they like. Of course they can."

Answer 4

Each of the three spirits whose visits were fortold by Jacob Marley were there to help Scrooge see his errors and change his ways before the end of Christmas Eve else Scrooges time on this earth was to end and a life of eternal torment was to begin
