SOCIAL ISOLATION
Scrooge is described as having frightened everyone away from him during his life, resulting in his death being unwept, uncared for, and his possessions being plundered. The narrative suggests his avarice and hard dealing led to his social isolation and a "rich end" in terms of material wealth but poverty in human connection.
