rdfs:comment
  • Ignorance and Want are two street urchin spirits that show up in The Ghost of Christmas Present segment in A Christmas Carol. They initially look timid inside the robes, but then they start snarling at Ebenezer Scrooge, warning him that they are ruthless. The two are also descriptions on what happened to those that became evil and corrupted by the world: Ignorance is a boy who is shown to grow up to become a dangerous thug (simmilar to Bill Sikes) that ends up imprisoned Want is a girl who is shown to grow up to become a cackling hag that is thrown into an insane asylum. This segment is a reference to Oliver Twist and Hard Times, two other Charles Dickens novels that were both about social injustice. They are the secondary antagonists.
