How does Charles Dickens use the setting to symbolise Scrooge?

Pathetic fallacy. "The fog came pouring at every chink and keyhole' - This could be a metaphor about how Scrooge refuses to see the POV's of other people. Fog prevents you from seeing far, so it can be symbolising how his bitterness is blinding him. "It was a cold, bleak, biting weather' This may describe Scrooge's character. The dry, biting and nasty weather shows us his personality and how he comes across to others.
