In this stave we really see that Scrooge wants to change his ways, because in the beginning of the chapter he clearly says to the spirit that he wants to be a different man when they are done. He has realized that the way he has been living life the past decades unhappy and full of sins. This spirit is so far showing him what will happen to him if he continues to live a sinful life. Hopefully this will really make Scrooge want to change his ways and turn his life around. This will probably happen, since we had seen the play for this book. I find it interesting that Scrooge has not realized that the scenes of people discussing a person who had recently died, is actually supposed to be him.

So Far in Stave Four
At the start of stave four, the last ghost had come to visit Scrooge, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. It was wearing black clothes, its face was covered up, and the spirit was tall. Scrooge had asked the spirit multiple questions, but it had not replied back to any of his questions, even later on in the reading it does not speak to Scrooge. Scrooge then tells the spirit that he is ready to go with it and wants to be a different man than he used to be before the spirits had visited him. Scrooge is The spirit shows him a scene where people that find out that Scrooge has died, and they talk about how he had given none of his money to anyone. The spirit then shows a scene of two businessmen that Scrooge knows, they then talk about the death of Scrooge. The spirit had finally shown Scrooge a very bad and run down town. In it there are three people who talk about the death of Scrooge or someone else.

I agree with you that scrooge in the beginning of the stave wanted to be a better man because, he knew that the spirit was there for his own well being. Scrooge has been living a very sad, life with no one liking him, and people mocking him still while he is dead which I think is the worst thing that a being could do. I also wondered why scrooge did not figure out that the people were talking about, especially that he knows that he is seeing his future.
