Climax

Allusions
The film is an allusion to the reality of our lives creating bitterness in us if we don't stand up and face it with courage to see we were made to connect with one another rather than isolate ourselves.
Paradox
Scrooge was mentored by Fozziwig, a man who was gleeful and kind. Paradoxically Scrooge became bitter, money hungry and cruel towards others.
Parallelism
Scrooge's visit to Cratchit's home parallels his visit with The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come to see Tiny Tim in Bob's home.
