how would you characterize bob cratchit's children in a christmas carol?

Answer 1

As innocence and sometimes the mistreatment of others by those in power. Tiny Tim's death in A Christmas Carol, for instance, symbolizes the death of an innocent at the hands of the powerful- Scrooge. Ignorance and Want are of course symbols of man's evils. Children can also be the foundation of a catharsis, and this is the case in A Christmas Carol. It begins when Scrooge remembers himself as a child, then sees others' children, meets Ignorance and Want and witnesses Tiny Tim's death.
