He wasn't an Aspie, or Jewish for that matter. Scrooge was just overly greedy.
By Ayn Rand fan, I meant that she advocated greed (although I do remember reading somewhere that some people have said that he was Jewish and hence the book was anti-Semitic). I agree though. Saying that he had AS would really, really be reaching.
I don't believe that Scrooge is Jewish because in both the book and movie productions there was no mentioning of Hanukkah at all. He said "Bah humbug" to Christmas, not Hanukkah. The Jewish moneylender is a stereotype.
Also, have many of you actually read the book?
I never said that he was Jewish. Some people thought that he was Jewish. I am not one of them, I would assume that he was apathetic to religion.
Also, am I the only one who thinks that we're reading way much into fictional characters?
