HOW DOES DICKENS CREATE SYMPATHY FOR SCROOGE? Dickens creates sympathy for Scrooge in Stave Two because when Scrooge sees himself as a child at boarding school alone, he shouts where have you been Robin Crusoe? when he remembers the old adventure books he read as a child. This illustrates how as a child, Scrooge had to read a lot as a way of company and ease his loneliness because he was left alone and neglected at boarding school over the Christmas holidays. It also highlights how much Scrooge must have cared about these characters because he clearly seems excited when he remembers him, therefore Scrooge relied on them as friends and possibly relied on the books as an escape from his lonely and solemn childhood. The phrase where have you been creates a lot of sympathy because it suggests that Scrooge has missed reading these books and it s as if this character, in his eyes, was really close and important to him.
