Fred

• all in a glow
• never put a scrap of gold ... in my pocket ... it has done me good
• why cannot we be friends?
• His wealth is of no use to him
• Who suffers by his ill whims, himself always
• I pity him
• begged like a boy
• I am heartily sorry fot it Mr Cratchit
• Fred is shown to be a beacon of warmth and embodies Christmas spirit
• eyes sparkled
• open up their shut up hearts freely
• Fred also serves to criticise the exploitative nature of a malthusian society
• Fred's compassion and love demonstrates his transformative nature and fulfilment of his social responsibility, ultimately catalysing Scrooge's redemption
• Fred is presented as the ideal Victorian gentleman as he embodies family, religion and charitable values. Dickens utilises the contrast between Scrooge's misanthropy and Fred's compassion as a warning against greed, bred in a Malthusian society
