Stave 3
-
'say he will be spared'
contrasts to his earlier Mathusean view now he realises Tiny Tim can be a representation of the useless 'surplus population'
-
'yellow, meagre, ragged, scowling, wolfish'
this is a representation of how children will end up when in poverty if they have no happiness or family to help them like the Cratchits
-
-
'sufficient dinner'
only just enough to provide for themelves whereas other such as Scrooge have excess at chrismas but are Misley about spending their money
could show that the meaning of christmas to the Cratchits is being together and showing kindnesss, so the dinner means less to them
-
-
'Founder of the Feast'
this alliteration emphasises the irony of the statement, since Scrooge barely pays Bob enough to provide for his family, which is very little
-
'This boy is Ignorance, This girl is Want'
'Ignorance' suggests that he lacks knowledge from having no education so will inevitably turn to crime and has no future
-
'brave in ribbons'
infers the poverty of the Cratchits, but also how they make the most of what they have and are happy without money
shows the dignity they poses despite their poverty and that it is not what you have, but what you do with it and who you share it with that matters (kindness costs nothing)
