He once ran a business with Jacob Marley, a partner just as cold-hearted, but since Marley's death, Scrooge has operated the business alone, mistreating everyone; including his clerk, Bob Cratchit. One night, the ghost of Jacob Marley appears to Scrooge, warning him that if he doesn't soften his ways, he is doomed to suffer a dreadful fate after death. Marley informs him that three spirits will visit him over the next few nights. At first, Scrooge dismisses the warning, but as each ghostly encounter grows more harrowing, he begins to realize that he must change. By the story's end, Scrooge undergoes a complete transformation.
