Scrooge and Marley

Scrooge and Marley are characters from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly, unkind man who values money above all else, often neglecting human warmth and generosity. Jacob Marley, his former business partner, appears as a ghost after death, condemned to wander the world bound by chains representing his greed and selfishness in life. Marley's visit serves as a warning to Scrooge, prompting him to reflect on his actions and change his ways to embrace kindness and compassion. Together, they symbolize the consequences of greed and the potential for redemption through moral transformation.
