The Cratchits have a strong sense of love, warmth, and togetherness within their family, while Scrooge lacks these qualities due to his focus on money and individualism. They also have compassion and empathy for others, which Scrooge learns to embrace through his transformation in "A Christmas Carol."
They represent the majority of the population in the time, hard working and not well off.
The Cratchits represent a moral. You don't have to be rich to be happy, basically. Scrooge is rich, but he's lonely and isolated, so consequently, he isn't happy. But there you have the Cratchits, who are poor, do hard work, are burdened by the sadness of their son being a cripple, and are still happy. Because they are together, they have each other. when watching them, Scrooge realises what he's been missing out on, begins to understand why christmas matters even to poor people, and also starts to regret the stinginess and cold-nature he shows to his clerk. Since the whole book is effectively about the infamous misers journey of self-discovery, he learns from the characters he witnesses, when he sees the Cratchits, it softens him to the poor.
The Cratchit home would have been a 2 up 2 down house which at that time was really good as many would have a family of 6 in a one room apartment. Scrooge's home was originally Jacob Marley's town house and was thought to be of high value. Scrooge rented most of this out as apartments and the cellar was a wine merchants. In terms of decor they were very similar as Scrooge didnt spend on himself and Bob didnt have the money to spend
They represent the happiness and cheers of Christmas and they show the importance of family values and how happiness comes with having those you care about with you and not about greed and money.
