Marley's Ghost
'There is more of gravy than grave about you, whatever you are'
when he sees Marley's ghost, Scrooge tries to deny its existence by attributing the vision to something he has eaten

'You have laboured on it, since. It is a ponderous chain.'
Marley warns that Scrooge's chains are even longer than his as he has continued to sin even after Marley's death

Marley's ghost can be seen as a physical representation of the Christian belief system of heaven and hell
he is shown to be in purgatory, a state of limbo in between death and heaven where the souls of sinners go until they have repented their sins
purgatory is a place of immense suffering and 'incessant torture', yet the suffering Marley is facing is shown to be a direct consequence of his actions - this causes the reader to view him unsympathetically
