[A Christmas Carol] Were three ghosts overkill when Scrooge was nearly convinced to change his ways just by speaking with Jacob Marley and the Ghost of Christmas past?

His change doesn't mean as much if its poorly motivated. Fear of death and eternal punishment is good, but that just means you're probably doing the bare minimum to checklist yourself into the Good Place. The first spirit also made him basically relive his failures and examine why he turned out the way he did, but its generally unhelpful to tell someone they're miserable and their life sucks without then offering a solution.

The other two spirits did this by basically restarting his sense of empathy and incepting the idea that his wealth, the source of his misery, can be used to make him happy by helping others.
