In earlier drafts, the character's name was "Little Fred." Dickens may have derived the name from his brothers, who both had "Fred" as a part of their names, one named Alfred and the other Frederick. Dickens repeats the phrase at the end of the story, symbolic of Scrooge's change of heart. In the story, Tiny Tim is known for the statement, "God bless us, every one!" which he offers as a blessing at Christmas dinner. At the end of the story, Dickens makes it explicit that Tiny Tim does not die, and Scrooge becomes a "second father" to him. This, and several other visions, led Scrooge to reform his ways. When visited by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Scrooge sees that Tiny Tim has died. When Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Present he is shown just how ill the boy really is (the family cannot afford to properly treat him on the salary Scrooge pays Cratchit). Tiny Tim is the young, ailing son of Bob Cratchit, Ebenezer Scrooge’s underpaid clerk. Although seen only briefly, he is a major character, and serves as an important symbol of the consequences of the protagonist's choices. Timothy "Tiny Tim" Cratchit is a fictional character from the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. ![]() Cratchit (named Emily in some adaptations)(mother) Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim Cratchit as depicted in an illustration by Fred Barnard ![]() ![]() On This Day in Elizabethan History: Pikemen Demons.May 2nd, 1536: The Arrest of Queen Anne Boleyn.The Timeless Queen Elizabeth I Reincarnated in Ban. ![]()
