'A Christmas Carol': Tiny Tim as a pious character

Dickens arguably draws parallels between Tiny Tim and Christ, who both play significant roles in others' salvation. Like Jesus Christ, Tiny Tim is described as a ‘patient and mild’ child. Arguably, Tiny Tim has a sort of resurrection in the novella, which could be portrayed as a Christian miracle. Through the resurrection of Tiny Tim, Dickens could be showing us the transformative power of Christian values. Parallels can arguably be drawn at some points between Scrooge and Christ, as Scrooge is also reborn.
