Marley's chains represents his crude-hearted nature while still alive. This pertains to Scrooge by how they shared the same evil intentions. "Scrooge and he were partners for I don't know how many years." "Scrooge was his sole executor, his sole administrator, his sole assign, his sole residuary legatee, his sole friend and sole mourner." This shows that he and Marley are very good friends who know each other, and will share the same fate if Scrooge does not change. The reaction Scrooge produced when he noticed the familiarity of Marley's chains shows that Scrooge is very knowing of his own path.
Marley being in chains represents that Scrooge is too attached to his work, so he himself is not experiencing lifes happiness is also creating a chain for himself link by link, yard by yard. Page 16 CSeely
Scrooge was buisness partners with Marley as Marley said "In life I was your partner, Jacob Marley." on page 14and they were both mean and grumpy as said on page 16 "I wear the chain I forged in life". If Marley was mean and grumpy like Scrooge then Scrooge awaits the same fate. A. Tankersley
The chain represents what you forge in life,what Scrooge's chain will bear in length and weight.It was long and heavy when Marley died but now has still been laboring on.""I wear the chain I forged In life,"replied the ghost.".
I think it represents that marley was a man that never had the time to have fun & he always worked . Marley is trying to tell him to not take life the wrong way because you never know when it is your time to go, since he was pretty much chained to his work & misery. For example , " I wear the chain I forged in life " & "Is its pattern strange to you ?" G.Valencia
Marley in chains represents scrooge and how attached he was to his work. How long his chain is represents all the mean and evil things he has done and become."I wear the chains i forged in life," "I made it link by link,and yard by yard;I girded it on my own free will,and on my own free will i wore it. Is it's pattern strange to you?" page 16
Marley in chains represents Scrooge by how Scrooge acts and how much he is too "obssesed" with his job. "I wear a chain I forged in life..." Pg. 16 N.Saenz
Marley in chains represents Scrooge by showing that if he doesn't change,his fate would end up like Marley's."The weight and length of the strong coil you bear yourself? It was full as heavy and as long as this, seven Christmas Eves ago." Pg.16
To C. Pool, I agree that the chain represents what they did in life, but perhaps the length and weight isn't what Charles Dickens was trying to aim for.
Marleys Chain Represents Scrooge's Character [the way he acts. All Mean and Never Stops Working!] "I Wear the chain I forged in life" and "The weight and length of the strong coil you bear yourself?It was full as heavy amd as long as this seven Christmas Eves ago.You have laboured on it since." Pg.16.
It represents how Scrooge is going to be when he is a ghost because him and Marley acted the same way. If Scrooge doesn't change how he acts he will have all those chains on him to."The weight and length of the strong coil you bear yourself? It was full as heavy and as long as this, seven Christams Eves ago. You have laboured on it, since. It is a ponderous chain!"pg.16
Marley in chains represents how scrooge will be if he keeps on worrying about his job like For example.Stave 1 pg 16 Icannot stay, icannot linger anywhere".which is what scrooges afterlife is going to be if he dosnt change
The chains represent scrooge because the chains doesn't change in the text evidence.."it was as heavy and as long as this seven Christmas Eve's ago." It is also saying if he doesn't change how he is, he is most likely to wind up just like Marley is. J.Luangrath
Marley being in chains represents Scrooge because when Marley Died Scrooge had Chains that he forged but know it's labored on and it's much longer and heavier then Marley's and if Scrooge died when Marley did they would have the same lenght and weight in chains but since he did not his chains are still labouring on and still growing and he needs to learn that his behavior needs to reflect how he lives and he never knows, when his time will come.""The weight and length of the strong coil you bear yourself? It was full as heavy and as long as this, seven Christmas Eves ago." "I Wear the chain I forged in life""
