Juxtaposition of similes
Suggest that Scrooge has been reborn as a new man
Provides a stark contrast with his depiction as aged and shrivelled in Stave One
Shows that the inner child who imagined characters from books as alive and the young apprentice who revelled in Fezziwig's party are still there, buried deep inside
Dickens uses a cyclical structure to show
1. How Scrooge changes
2. Scrooge achieves redemption
Scrooge's behaviour and actions are contrasted
From the start to the end of the novella
Dickens uses the transformation of Scrooge's character
To give hope to all people that they can improve their lives
