Charles Dickens shows family in an overall positive light. When Scrooge looks at his past, he sees the joy in Fan's face when she tells him that their father has changed into a kinder and gentler man. Fan tells young Scrooge that she has arrived to take him home so that they can be a family again. Then Scrooge sees Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig and the joy of their marriage.
Later, Scrooge gazes upon the Cratchit family. Though they are poor, they are a happy and loving family. They have little food and live in a shabby house, but they care for one another and focus on their blessings in life. Scrooge observes his nephew, Fred, and how much he loves his wife. Even later when Scrooge visits the Cratchit family after the death of Tiny Tim, he observes a loving family who remembers their departed son with tenderness.
