Tiny Tim’s father Bob Cratchit is next on my list. This quote just shows how thoughtful he is, and how much he cares for others.
“He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember, upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk and blind men see.” (125). He is the epitome of the Christmas spirit, that which should inhibit all of us. Next, there is Tiny Tim, he seems to be a symbol of hope in this story even though he has to use a crutch to walk and he is very small.ĭespite his disability, he constantly keeps the spirit up and tries to maintain it in all his brothers, sisters, and parents, even though they are poor. No beggars implored him to bestow a trifle, no children asked him what it was o’clock, no man or woman ever once in all his life inquired the way to such and such a place, of Scrooge.” (Dickens 14). No wind that blew was bitterer than he…Nobody ever stopped in the street to say, with gladsome looks, ‘My dear Scrooge, how are you? When will you come to see me?’. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. “External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge.
In the book, he is made out to be Anti-Christmas and he is constantly commented about by characters in the book, some feeling pity, others feeling hostility. Through him, the lesson of the story is to be learned. First, let’s examine Ebenezer Scrooge, since he is the main character of the story, All 3 ghosts visit him. The four main characters in the book are Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and Ebenezer Scrooge’s nephew, Fred.
