Although Scrooge redeems himself, his deeds in the past cannot be undone, such as: not respecting his late sister's dying wish to look after Fred; deserting Fezziwig for Jorkin, whose competition presumably forced Fezziwig out of business and who bought it from him; covering (with Marley) the losses incurred for Jorkin's embezzlement by taking over the company; and taking Marley's personal belongings and house once Marley died. This could mean Scrooge deep down cannot forgive himself, even though Marley's ghost assures him he has a chance to make up for his sins and not suffer the same fate. The film has added these explicit reasons for Scrooge being haunted by the three spirits. Dickens chose not to include such reasons in the book, and most other film versions adhered to the original story in this respect.
