What is your impression of Scrooge so far?

     The first chapter of "A Christmas Carol"  is dedicated to establish the personality of Scrooge. The author describe this character and show some situations where he interact of all sorts of people - family, unknowns and even a old friend who reappears from the beyond - for the reader to realize who he really is. From what  I read the book I can deduce that Scrooge is a person with cold heart and little soul.
     Scrooge is a skeptical, he doesn't believe in love, neither the romantic love nor the love of neighbor. He is a doesn't show his feelings, even when he was afraid, because of the Marley's ghost, he pretend he wasn't. He would like to have all the money possible, but do not spend even the minimum necessary for the proper comfort.

Summarily, Scrooge is a old covetous morose man, exactly the opposite of Marley.
