Show transcript
In Stave 4, Scrooge meets the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, who shows Scrooge the shadows of things that "may be"
Dickens refers to this ghost as a "phantom" rather than a spirit, characterising it as distinct from the others
Dickens' description of the phantom's "draped and hooded" appearance is reminiscent of the Grim Reaper
The phantom forces Scrooge to interpret the visions for himself and understand independently how he can change his fate
Dickens places the responsibility to change on the individual, highlighting the impact of one person’s actions on others
