Show transcript
Dickens uses colour symbolism and extended metaphors to characterise Scrooge and Fred as opposite characters.
Scrooge is likened to the cold, whereas Fred is described as ‘ruddy’, ‘handsome’ and warm.
Fred exemplifies Christmas spirit, empathy and goodwill.
Through showing us Scrooge through the eyes of Fred, we learn the importance of humour and empathy.
Seeing Fred's Christmas party causes Scrooge to 'soften', showing his moral progress.
