This was the warning issued to him by the Ghost of Jacob Marley. In both their lives Scrooge and Marley cared little for the plight of people around them; they saw only business and money. However, Marley's warning tells Scrooge that this is wrong and that he (Scrooge) should be aware of such issues in the world around him and seek to care for the plight and suffering of others, and seek to find where he can help make changes.
The Ghost warned scrooge to beware of the children. The boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy!
To warn Scrooge that unless he changes his ways and seeks to make amends to mankind for his previous miserly living then Scrooge was destined to walk the earth in eternal torment
This was Marley telling Scrooge that he (Marley) was allowed to come back to Scrooge to tell Scrooge of his inpending eternal life of torment should he not make changes to the way he lives his life now and sees mankind as his business not just the money he can get from them
Scrooge's attitude between making money and the care of mankind
On his visit to Scrooge Marley clearly tells Scrooge that his life did not move from the counting house meaning he worked like Scrooge for money at all times and that mankind and its welfare should have been his business
In the original book A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, the third spirit is apparently the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. It never says anything to Ebenezer Scrooge, merely gestures, and is described as a hooded phantom, possibly like the stereotypical Grim Reaper.
Scrooge believes the real business of mankind is to pursue wealth and profit, prioritizing financial success above all else. He values money over relationships, kindness, and compassion. This belief drives his selfish and greedy behavior throughout "A Christmas Carol."
Scrooge asks 3 key questions Of the Ghost of Christmas Present he asks if Tiny Tim will live and is told that the Ghost sees an empty chair by the fire and a crutch hanging on the wall with no owner Then when seeing the Boy (ignorance) and the Girl (Want) beneath the Ghosts robes Scrooge asks "who are they , do they not have any resource? The Ghost fires back, They are mans. Beware them both, but beware the boy more. Of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come Scrooge asks continually if he has time to change for if he has he will do so and keep Christmas In his heart for evermore
He was a cold hearted miserly old man who thought nothing of the issues of mankind that surrounded him
The ghost of Jacob Marley quoted Scrooge twice. The first quote was "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence were all my business." The second quote was "You are fettered," said Scrooge, trembling. "Tell me why?"
The girl is Want and the boy Ignorance, Scrooge is wanted beware of both, but most of all the boy!
In the story "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, Scrooge's fate is shown to him by the Ghost of Christmas Future. Scrooge sees his own gravestone before seeing Tiny Tim's empty chair. This suggests that if Scrooge does not change his ways, he will meet the same fate as Tiny Tim - death.
