Is it possible that the successful versions of A Christmas Carol (the better film(s), maybe Dickens’ book) might have the IC signposts taking a different order than what the ghosts were “named”?
For example, IC Signposts of Present -> Past -> Progress -> Future appears to be allowed for a Success/Good story. Perhaps Jacob Marley impacted Scrooge more through present situation and circumstances while the ghost of Christmas Present actually impacted him through Progress. (Just throwing that out there; I can’t remember the story well enough to know if that could fit.)
