    The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge a neglected grave with his name on it, implying his future death if he does not change his ways. Terrified by this vision, Scrooge sees that he will die lonely and unmourned if he continues on his current path. He pleads with the ghost to tell him if he can change his fate, and is left with a sense of hope that he can still alter his future by making changes in the present. This powerful encounter with his own mortality is the final push Scrooge needs to fully embrace the Christmas spirit of generosity and kindness.
