Marley
I wear the chain I forged in life. I made it link by link and yard by yard. I girded it on my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.

Link with context : Social responsibility. Sins and religion. Free will can be traced back to the Bible, where it is suggested that the difference between animals and humans is that we have free will like God, whereas animals have instincts.
The concept of free will if that we have full control over the choices that we make and the implication is that Marlet and Scrooge's free will has led to their metaphorical chains. Free will comes with moral implications.
There could also be a biblical link here, with the suggestion that Marley is in purgatory, being judged for his actions on Earth.
The verb "forged" suggests that Marley/Scrooge have painstakingly created their own guilt, deliberately and repeatedly through immoral behaviour
All actions have consequences, and we have a responsibility that comes with free will
