Show transcript
The Cratchits embody the values of Christmas: family; community; empathy; gratitude and Christmas spirit.
Bob Cratchit’s name reflects that he is underpaid and impoverished.
Tiny Tim was allegedly inspired by Dickens’ nephew, Harry, who was also disabled, but sadly passed away.
Tiny Tim is a symbol of Scrooge’s selfishness and cruelty, as well as hope for his transformation.
Dickens uses the Cratchits to humanise the poor and illustrate the direct (and personal) consequences of selfishness.
