In the movie A Christmas Carol, Fred is an important character who is easily overlooked. But he plays an important role to the plot and to revealing other character’s traits. Fred is Scrooge’s (adult) nephew and only family in the movie. The first scene in Scrooge’s bank reveals him to be a young, average man with brown hair and a big forehead. Although the movie doesn’t give us much information on his background we know that Fred isn’t very wealthy and is married. Throughout the movie we can see that Fred shows a faith in the Christmas spirit and in the people around him. He is a kind hearted, forgiving person with the ability to always see the best in people. He shows these emotions because he is happy with what he has even if it isn’t much.
