This simile shows that Scrooge is unpleasant with the ability to be dangerous. Sharp shows how painful his actions are to those around him, but could also mean intelligence, which he used to gain more and more money - he uses it selfishly Although we are made to think nothing can affect him, the weather does influence him a 'little'.

Alternative transcript:
prisons and workhouses were poor excuses of 'help' for the victims of poverty, the conditions were so foul many chose to rather die Cruel and apathetic - uncaring "IF THEY WOULD RATHER DIE... THEY HAD BETTER DO IT, AND DECREASE THE SURPLUS POPULATION.' Dehumanises the poor and creates a barrier of us vs them Scrooge shows belief in the malthusian principles He believes that people with no wealth are useless and have no value PRESENTATION BY @VIOLETMEI Links to 'solitary as an oyster' he remains lonely by choice later "THE SCHOOL IS NOT QUITE DESERTED... A on in life SOLITARY CHILD, NEGLECTED BY HIS FRIENDS, IS LEFT THERE STILL." We sympathise and understand why Scrooge is how he is - children shouldn't be abandoned multiple similes used to build up description LIKE A CHILD: YET NOT SO LIKE A CHILD AS LIKE AN OLD MAN. paradox - words contradict eachother to show supernatural He doesn't have any/many positive relationships in his life, he even lacks friendship aspects but also how the ghost embodies Scrooge's life, from his youth to his old age Confusing comparison could indicate the lack of clarity Scrooge has of his past Could show the ghost's innocence yet knowledge and experience of life PRESENTATION BY @VIOLETMEI THANKS FOR VIEWING MY CONTENT, IF YOU HAVE ANY REQUESTS FOR MORE QUOTES FEEL FREE TO COMMENT OR MESSAGE ME PRESENTATION BY @VIOLETMEI
