Stave Four, Dickens creates a sense of dread towards death with a simple plot device—the ghost of Christmas Future showing Scrooge the effects of his own death and its meaninglessness in gradual, foreboding revelations.

EVIDENCE - While Scrooge begins to sense that the subject of their discussion led a meaningless life, he does not realize that the he, himself is that subject is himself. Dickens builds this sense of dread in another scene—the dead man’s belongings have been plundered by the grimy, destitute, selfish scavengers of London.
