A Christmas Carol what is Marley's purpose in the story? (significance) Asked by farheen s #299495 on 2/2/2013 1:57 AM Last updated by Aslan on 2/2/2013 10:03 AM
Jacob Marley exists as a cautionary tale for Ebenezer. His ghost is there to warn old Scrooge of what might happen to him if he doesn't change his miserly ways.
