The Second Ghost of Christmas Present

The second spirit is the ghost of Christmas future which is described as being kind and gentle. It is described that "its head wore no other covering than a holly wreath, set here and there with shining icicles. Its dark brown curls were long and free; free as its genial face, its sparkling eye, its open hand, its cheery voice, its unconstrained demeanour, and its joyful air” (Dickens 46). Scrooge witnesses gratitude and humility with The Cratchit family, unconditional love because of his nephew, the impacts of beign underpaid/poverty, and the detriments of illness.
