Stave 2

• The Ghost of Christmas Past visits Scrooge and he looks like an old man and young man simultaneously. He is a bright light, and wears a cap, and a white tunic (almost white looking dress).
• The Ghost instantly brings him back to his home town, to which we see an emotional reaction from Scrooge - this is the first time Scrooge is humanised in the novella (made to appear as normal human).
• He shows Scrooge at boarding school, and being united with his little sister, Fanny to which it is revealed that she has formally passed away.
• Scrooge is also taken back to a positive time where he was an apprentice for a man called Mr. Fezziwig. We see a jubilant young Scrooge who admires Fezziwig and see them all at a vivacious and flamboyant party hosted by Fezziwig.
• A more dark flashback from the past is shown by the Ghost - the end of Belle (Scrooge's ex wife) and his marriage. She speaks about how Scrooge idolises money over love and was not the man she was once engaged to. This is a painful memory for Scrooge and he gets an "extinguisher cap" and puts it on the Ghost to try eradicate him.
