redemption

• "The apparition walked backward from him"

  • Marley is trying to undo the steps that he took to get him into this situation.
• "Marley's ghost held up its hand, warning him to come no nearer. Scrooge stopped."

  • Warning Scrooge to not follow Marley's foot steps - doesn't want him to be doomed.
• He tried to say 'Humbug!' but stopped at the first syllable"


  Scrooge is starting to change - maybe learned a lesson from Marley.
