In Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol, Belle and Scrooge were engaged as a young couple. Later Belle breaks off their engagement because she feels Scrooge's growing greed is changing him. When the ghost of Christmas Past reveals Belle to Scrooge and a grown woman with a family he realizes what he has lost.
Belle was Ebenezers betrothed. She saw that a golden idle had taken her place in his heart and released him from his promise of marridge
We now see that Scrooge was all but abandoned by his father at boarding school even at christmas
Belle had seen the change in Scrooge where he was hardening to the world. He had lost his beloved sister Fan and still hurting. He focused on material wealth and in doing so was ignoring Belle. Belle noticed this change and confronted him citing the fact taht when they were both poor he (Scrooge) was a happier and more loving person yet now "a Golden Idle" had taken her place in his heart and she therefore relased Scrooge from his promise (of marridge)
In short - very. It is what the main action of your story builds towards. The promise of a good climax is essentially the reason you give a reader to keep reading.
He mistakenly believes that the sole reason to live and be happy is set in making money -
Belle parts ways with Scrooge because she sees that he values money over their relationship and love. She realizes that Scrooge's heart is consumed by greed and his pursuit of wealth, which is not compatible with her own values and desire for a loving and caring partner.
He is certain he is having a hallucination caused by something he ate.
They're no one's business.
He felt it was may be a piece of raw potato or undercooked meat that caused a bad dream.
The most important reason... The primary reason ...
Scrooge feels that Christmas was simple a time when people sought to eat and live beyond their means and this to him is abhorrent therefore when asked to join Fred and his wife for Christmas Scrooges retort was "you keep Christmas in your way and I will in mine!"
