Cratchit family
The cratchits are a poor but loving family, who struggle with poverty and tiny tim's illness however they don't let that ruin their spirit.
Bob Cratchit
He is scrooge's employee
he is uncomplaining and tolerating of scrooges lack of care and underpay
Scrooges living room
this is the main theme in the play
Scrooge goes on a journey of redemption
"the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil."
"the state of being extremely poor."
poverty is portrayed in a variety of ways, most specifically through the use of the Cratchit family and the endless cycle they have become stuck in.
Social responsibility is highlighted through Scrooge's actions towards those trying to help the poor, his behaviour as an avaristic and cruel employer and his behaviour towards anyone who he should love
Scrooge soon takes actions to change his ways and eventually does take responsibility for his wrong doings and "sins"
scrooge finally changes for the better
he goes to fezziwig's party and buys the cratchits a turkey
he looks like father christmas
he is sat upon a throne of food to represent the food that is available but most cant have; also symbolizes the christmas spirit
Time
The cratchits know they have a limited amount of time with Tiny Tim but with scrooges help that can be extended
There was a clock with the ghost of christmas present, to signify that it is a real life problem happening as they speak.
The ghosts
Marleys ghost
The ghost of christmas past takes scrooge through a flashback to his childhood
The ghost of christmas yet to come takes scrooge to the future and shows him what happens
Each of the ghosts travel through different times
his ghost is used as a warning sign to scrooges possble fate.
Marley comes back to life, "Marley was dead; to begin with"
Small fire, not nearly enough to keep Bob warm
The carol singers that appear at scrooges office door but he promptly shuts them away
