This is a piece on what the quote below means.
Quote:
"If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future , none other of my race," returned the Ghost, "will find him here. What then? If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the population." (66)
A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens
In this quote, the Ghost is hinting on the fact that Scrooge's logic is actually very illogical. Quoting Scrooge's earlier comments effectively triggered Scrooge's better side. Seeing that his earlier comment almost wished for the young boy to die, I believe this is one of the turning points to Scrooge's behavior. From here on, Scrooge's behavior definitely changes to the better.
