Scrooge mostra i primi segni di pentimento.Il terzo Spirito, quello dei Natali che devono ancora venire, mostra a Scrooge alcune scene del suo funerale e la morte del piccolo Tim, figlio dellimpiegato di Scrooge.

Da questo momento Scrooge sorridera alle persone, concedera un aumento a Bob e aiutera chi ha bisogno.Romanzo breve di genere fantastico, unisce al gusto gotico nella raffigurazione dei personaggi, limpegno nella lotta alla poverta, allo sfruttamento minorile e allanalfabetismo, temi centrali nella produzione dickensiana.
