El anciano se dará cuenta de los terribles errores cometidos y del terrible futuro que le espera, por lo que cambiará recuperando la bondad y generosidad de su alma. Al historia tuene el genial acierto de mostrarnos cómo una sociedad cruel puede influir en sus propios ciudadanos, hasta convertirlos en un mero reflejo de sus propias injusticias. Ebezner Scrooge es un reflejo de todos nosotros y nos enseña cómo su pasado ha moldeado su presente, cómo la única salida para vencer su futuro es aceptar las consecuencias de sus actos, y tomar las riendas de su vida para llevarla en la dirección que él de verdad quiere.
