Dickens’ Ghost of Christmas Past was a cagey vessel, one tasked initially with carting the heartless Ebeneezer Scrooge through his own time and space, highlighting his miserly ways and showing him how they had stunted many of the lives of those around him. But that message was deliberately two-fold, as the true intent was to show Scrooge how his patterns and preferences had turned him into a veritable Midas over time, a decades long evolution that was readily apparent. Eventually, the Ghost of Christmas Future got Scrooge to take notice, as - SPOILER ALERT - a life was lost that he could have easily helped to save had he merely taken any interest along the way.
