Charles Dickens' classic story “A Christmas Carol” supports the idea that “Generosity involves more than giving money, it is also about giving one's good will, compassion, sympathy , empathy and kindness. By taking his seemingly irredeemable protagonist Ebenezer Scrooge on a supernatural journey, Dickens intends to convey the importance of generosity to all of society. It proclaims that generosity of spirit defines Christmas and also goes a long way toward defining true humanity. In A Christmas Carol, we see exemplary examples that generosity is more about the spirit in which something is given than the object itself, from the schoolmaster's offering of food and wine to young Scrooge and his adoring little sister Fan , or to the humble but cheerful celebration organized by Mr. Fezziwig and his wife, or even to Fred's offer of help to a grieving Bob Cratchit in a future that has not come true: as Bob says: “Now, it's not It was because of something he could have done for us, as much as because of his kind ways, that all this was truly delightful. It really felt like he had met our Tiny Tim and felt with us." Despite this, the joy shown by the family acts in stark contrast to their circumstances, supporting the idea that generosity involves more than just donating money and that the price of giving love and kindness cannot be quantified. Throughout the story, Scrooge is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, who show the irascible Scrooge how to feel compassion towards other human beings. story revolves around money, and plays an important role, to contrast the way generosity is viewed in society. Scrooge is incredibly rich, as he lives in an environment of paper change in his life, the knowledge that generosity of only one person can lead to unspeakable joy. These acts of generosity demonstrate that Scrooge has had a drastic change in his life, the realization that a single person's generosity can lead to unspeakable joy. The novel embodies the idea that generosity involves more than the simple donation of money, it requires the gift of one's good will and compassion, this is necessary for Scrooge's redemption, as well as the attempt to insinuate into the reader a reflection of one's own values and behaviors. Dickens' tale also serves to warn Scrooge and the audience of the ramifications of their actions if they do not take this into account, that generosity always involves more than the simple giving of money, it requires the giving of one's good will and compassion..
