This poem follows the archetypal pattern, where the Grinch leaves his house on a quest to stop Christmas from coming to Whoville.

This is further explained when Scrooge is asked about sharing some of his vast supply of money with the poor, as he responds by saying that if they must die, they should do so to decrease the surplus population; this depicts Scrooge’s initial despise and disrespect towards those poorer than him.
