Which Ghost affected Scrooge the most?

Death has always been a powerful symbol and " A christmas Carol" was no exception. The ghost that affect Scrooge the most was the ghost of christmas present which showed Scrooge the public's candid opinion of him as a person. This is what feared Scrooge the most, and that was when he vowed to honor the christmas spirit as long as he lived. If it weren't for  this phantom, Scrooge might have just forgotten about the first two spirits. After all, they are not, are at least no longer am, connected to him. His past is the past, it's history, he couldn't change that nor does he ever want to venture upon that sore subject ever again. Bob's family and Tiny Tim was non of his business, and helping them certainly does not help him make money. To truly wear away the years of money-making selfishness, one must be reminded or shocked of something personal to he or she, something he or she cannot escape and that is death. Death is one of the most feared subjects ever , and Scrooge saw himself on the gravestone. He also saw how other people mocked his death without even a trace of sympathy. He knew now better than ever that if he doesn't change, his life will not only end in terrible consequences but he will receive no respect or sympathy or whatsoever even after his death. There will not even be a single petal on his graveyard and his will be standing there alone.
