They are two very different characters however, its felt that Scrooge still is more grumpy and miserly
There is no indication in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" that Jacob Marley was Jewish. The character is simply portrayed as a deceased business partner of Ebenezer Scrooge who returns as a ghost to warn Scrooge about his miserly ways.
Ebenezer Scrooge
He is betrothed to Belle, but she breaks the engagement because he has grown to love money more than anything else.
No one. Scrooge didn't have another woman in his life after Belle returned his ring. She later marries and has children.
The name of Scrooge's fiancee was Belle -- he never married. They apparently became engaged while Ebenezer was an apprentice at Fezziwig, and maintained their engagement over his early years of acquiring wealth. However, she broke their engagement after she realized that Scrooge loved money than he loved her. Belle asked the young Ebenezer point blank whether he would want her as a wife now, knowing that he would get no dowry money for doing so. Ebenezer chose not to say he would do so, which was (unfortunately) the honest answer.
Jacob Marley WAS younger than Ebenezer scrooge, but he died before him because he concentrated to much on money rather than focusing on whats really important; Life and Love. Technically, he worked himself to death!BAH, HUMBUG!
Yes, in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", Ebenezer Scrooge's mother died giving birth to him. This event plays a significant role in shaping Scrooge's character and his relationship with his father.
In Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Fan is Ebenezer Scrooge's younger sister. She is described as being significantly younger than Scrooge, who is shown as a young man in the scenes with Fan. While Fan's exact age is not explicitly stated in the novella, she is portrayed as a child or young teenager during the flashbacks with Scrooge.
It was originally "Fanny" which was a well know name of the times indeed it was so until post war in Britain (as evidenced in the original Enid Blyton Faraway Tree books) it was shortened to Fan normally and is used so in the films however, due to the fact that the name became slang for part of the body it was changed to Fran
True
The conflict in "A Christmas Carol" is primarily internal for the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge. He struggles with the development of his own character and his journey towards redemption rather than facing external conflicts with others.
Because Belle realises that Scrooges only love has turn to money (a Gold idle). She confronts him with "would you seek me out of I were poor?". Scrooge doesn't answer confirming that he would not have.
