Dickens shows us truth, beauty and goodness through the miraculous transformation of the character Scrooge, in his story A Christmas Carol. In the final chapter of Dickens' story we are privileged to witness a complete and utter alteration of Scrooge's personal identity which exudes all that is good, all that is beautiful and all that is true from the depths of his being; revealing a true sincere conversion. Dickens exposes what is beautiful in human nature – through delightful personality and emotional response. The glory of God can be seen in the beautiful and passionate outpouring of joyful emotions. Dickens uses Scrooge to represent this beauty because the character, upon waking, is so filled with excitement that he can barely contain himself. He prances around his room with so much joy and jubilation, like a child, that he becomes out of breath. He even begins to “laugh and cry in the same breath”. (57) Dickens describes his beautiful laugh as “a splendid laugh, a most illustrious laugh.” The father of a long, long line of brilliant laughter.” (57) Dickens further expounds what is beautiful in the way we perceive the world around us. God created a beautiful, varied and changing world for our enjoyment. Becoming aware of this beauty is beautiful in itself. Dickens shows how Scrooge's perspective on life changes dramatically, from the way he sees the world around him to the way he notices people and even the way he reacts to them. Scrooge, after happily stumbling into his room and happily fumbling with his clothes, opens the window and has a renewed vision of the beauty of the world in which he lives. He notices the “golden light of the sun; celestial sky; fresh and sweet air; happy bells.” (58) He is able to note...... in the middle of a paper ...... heals God by the Holy Spirit and the heavenly power of change. Scrooge, through his conversion, is able to establish new and genuine relationships with so many people. He genuinely cares about the well-being of others and can finally be truly happy. His change is beautiful in every way and embodies the true feeling of goodness. A true and complete renewal or rebirth of our spirit is fully achievable through the glorious work of the Holy Spirit in us. Just as Scrooge swore that “the spirits of three shall strive within me,” we too swear that the holy spirit prospers within us.
