The book’s protagonist (or antagonist depending on one’s point of view). Scrooge is a miserly old man, and Dickens does a wonderful job painting him as such with his beautiful descriptions. Charles Dickensused the phrase “stave” instead of “chapter” because it represents how a carol would be divided. Scrooge had been hardened by events in his life ...
Bob is the head of the Cratchit family and Scrooge’s long-suffering clerk. At the start of the novel, he is the victim of Scrooge’s folly as Scrooge lambasts him for having the gall to ask to be paid on Christmas day despite not working. Bob has a large family. He is married to Mrs Cratchit, who is kind and loving but not a fan of Scrooge as she se...
Tiny Tim is an adorable character and the youngest son of Bob Cratchit. His primary function in the storyis to highlight the effects of poverty on the lower classes. It is partially characters like this, who are poor but likeable, that made Charles Dickens’s work so popular among the working classes. Tiny Tim bears the misfortune of having been bor...
Jacob Marley was Scrooge’s business partner who died around Christmastime, which is one of many reasons that Scrooge might dislike the time of year. Marley travelled a similar road to Scrooge and was similarly enamoured by money. Marley acts as an early cautionary tale as he warns Scrooge not to become like him. He appears in the form of a ghost co...
This is the first of three ghosts to visit Scrooge. It is described as being both blindingly light and dark at the same time, as being both young and old simultaneously. The descriptions of this ghost are very nebulous, and consequently, depictions in various media have been wide-ranging, including in one adaptation being represented by a living ca...
This is the second of the three ghosts and shows Scrooge things that are currently going on that he is not privy to. For instance, he can see what his Cousin Fred is doing and how the Cratchit family are enjoying their Christmas. In both of these instances, Scrooge is mentioned and not necessarily in a positive manner. The ghost is described as bei...
Most of the depictions of this spirit are similar, and that is perhaps no surprise. It is the most recognizable of the three spirits. That is not where the similarities end either, as this spirit highlights Scrooge’s grizzly end should he continue on his current path. The character says very little despite Scrooge’s attempts to communicate with him...
Fred is Scrooge’s nephew and presents a nice juxtaposition with the characters of Scrooge. From the first moment we see Fred, he is upbeat. The two engage in back-and-forth dialogue early on, where despite Scrooge’s best efforts to bring Fred down, Fred’s positivity is unbreakable. Like Bob Cratchit, despite Scrooge’s demeanour, Fred refuses to giv...
In many ways, this character represents what Scrooge could be and really what he does end up becoming. Fezziwig is a character from Scrooge’s past. He was Scrooge and Marley’s employer and made sure that all of his staff were well looked after at Christmas. This offers Scrooge a realization as he can see the happiness he could potentially spread if...
Belle has a minor but important role in Scrooge’s development. She is a beautiful young woman, and Scrooge loves her. However, she separated from him because she believed that the only thing that Scrooge truly loved was money. She later marries, and through his visions, Scrooge can see that neither Belle nor her new husband regards him particularly...
