What was the Ghost of the Christmas Past trying to tell Scrooge?
The ghost is trying to make Scrooge see how and why he has
changed. In his early years when employed by Fezziwig he was a kind
and gentle person. His attitude started to change on the death of
his sister Fan who died giving birth to Fred his nephew. This was
the reason we see Scrooge disown Fred as he blamed him. Fan scrooge
thought would always be there for him. Later as he hardened against
lifes events he focused more on business and making money. His
betrothed Belle witnessed this and broke off their engagement.
Again Scrooge had lost someone he loved dearly and so the cycle
continued until he became a very old bitter person
