Bob Cratchit

Bob Cratchit is a character in A Christmas Carol who is Ebenezer Scrooge's and (presumably) Jacob Marley's clerk.

Personality
He was a clerk. Despite the cold and bitterness from his employer, Bob Cratchit still remains kind, caring and optimistic who loves Christmas. He is a loving father to to all six of his children, especially towards his youngest son, Tiny Tim, who is diagnosed with an unknown illness. Cratchit is also deeply in love with his wife, Emily. It is shown in a bad future, that Bob grieves for Tiny Tim and is no longer cheerful. However, Ebenezer prevents it from happening by changing his ways immediately.

Bob is slightly taken aback by his employer's sudden change in personality.
