"Marley's ghost bothered him exceedingly. Every time he resolved within himself, after mature enquiry, that it was all a dream, his mind flew back again, like a strong spring released, to its first position, and presented the same problem to be worked all through, 'Was it a dream or not?." Scrooge's internal debate accurately reflects the mid-Victorian dichotomy on Spiritualism, mesmerism and the supernatural.
