she knew he did not want to marry her because she was poor
It was an engagement to marry
Belle, Scrooges fiancee decided to break their promise of marriage because Scrooge had another love - money
It was Belle
Belle
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
Scrooge's sweetheart is upset because she feels neglected by Scrooge, who is preoccupied with his pursuit of wealth and success. She longs for more attention, affection, and emotional connection from Scrooge, making her feel unhappy and unfulfilled in the relationship.
Belle Scrooges betrothed noticed that he haad changed in his attiude since she first met him and they were both poor. Now Scrooges focus was on money and she (Belle) told Scrooge that a new idle, a golden one had taker her place in his heart and therefore she would release him from his promise(to marry her)
This was not his wife. Scrooge didnt marry at all. The person was Belle. Belle was Scrooges fiancee, his betrothed . Belle had seen Scrooge change. He had lost the poor young mans attitude and allowed wealth to take over his life. This drive for more wealth had pushed Belle out of his heart as gold now replaced his love
Scrooge was engaged to Belle Fezziwig, the daughter of his employer.
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.
This refers to Belle who he promised to marry but that promise goes un kept as Scrooges love turns to money
