Dickens shows us truth, beauty and goodness through the miraculous transformation of the character, Scrooge, in his short story A Christmas Carol. In the final chapter of Dickens' story, we are privileged to witness a complete and total alteration of Scrooge's personal identity that exudes all that is good, all that is beautiful and all that is true from deep within his core ; revealing a genuine and sincere conversion. Dickens exposes what is beautiful in human nature, through a 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 portray this beauty as the character, upon awakening, is so full of excitement that he can hardly contain himself. He prances around his room so joyfully and jubilantly, in such a child-like way, that he can't breathe. He even begins to “laugh and cry together”. (57) Dickens describes his beautiful laugh as “a splendid laugh, an illustrious laugh. The father of a long, long line of brilliant laughter." (57) Dickens further exposes what is beautiful in the way we see the world around us. God created the beautiful world with variety and change for our pleasure. Taking note of this beauty is beautiful in itself. Dickens shows how Scrooge's perspective on life changes greatly 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 around his room and blissfully fumbling with his clothes, opens the window and has a renewed vision of the beauty of the world in which he lives. He takes note of the “golden sunlight; heavenly sky; sweet fresh air; happy bells."

Scrooge, through his conversion, manages to establish new and authentic relationships with many people. He genuinely cares about the well-being of others and is finally able to be truly happy. His change is beautiful in every sense and embodies the true sense of goodness. A true and complete renewal or rebirth of our spirit is fully achievable through the glorious work of the Holy Spirit within us. Just as Scrooge swore that “the spirits of all three shall strive within me,” we also swear that the holy spirit shall prosper within us. (57)Works CitedDickens, Charles. "A Christmas Carol."
