. Comment there if you disagree and wish to discuss further. Also deleting some natter- the viewpoint is small p progressive- not necessarily something people in the Progressive poliical party might or might not think (which didn't even exist iirc when the story was written)

* CompleteMonster: Largely avoided in the 1951 version. Scrooge is cold, unfeeling and miserly, but he's not a total villain (as he is in other adaptations). About the closest he comes to true villainy is the way he looks rather pleased to inherit the home and possessions of his late, only friend Jacob Marley.
** The Ghost of Christmas Past comes off as this, especially in the DarkerAndEdgier versions of the story, where it shows what Scrooge could've had and expose the flaws of the people he loved seemly [[ForTheEvulz for the hell of it]], unlike the other two who drive a deeper message to be more charitable towards all men, and his travels to Scrooge's past [[MindRape seem more of an invasion of his deepest thoughts than showing the spirit of Christmas]].
** Old Joe definitely qualifies; he takes almost sadistic seeming pleasure in pawning the valuables of a deceased person just to make a quick buck, and laughing in the face of the dead about it. Even a pre-HeelFaceTurn Scrooge is [[EvenEvilHasStandards described as being utterly disgusted with his actions]].

YMMV sinkhole (which doubles as cruft). Also, Precision F Strike is an in-universe trope only.
