As portrayed in his name, Scrooge means a penny pincher, selfish and a miser. He is a money-minded person as he has mentioned Christmas "a time for finding yourself older and not an hour richer." This reflects on Scrooge that money is more essential to one than enjoyment. Scrooge has a tendency on looking down on the poor as he feels that they should badly go off and work in prisons, union workhouses and they do not require money or any forms of donations as the Poor Law is already in full vigour. He feels that the it is better for the poor to die as this would decrease the "surplus population". Scrooge is trying to say here that if the poor die, there would be more richer people as he feels that only the rich are contributing to the society and not the poor. He is self-centered

He,s depicted as a smart gentleman of the time. He is not rich but comfortable financially. He is disowned initially by his uncle but still is prepared to offer the hand of peace to his hard-hearted uncle

Fred is Scrooge's nephew. His mother Fran was Scrooge's sister.

Fred is the total opposite of his uncle. He is kind, cheerful, generous & loves Christmas. He is a hopeful and optimistic person who sees good in everyone, including his uncle.
