MARKLY UNCOMFORTABLE TV
It appears that Markle's estranged family members were likely fired from TV coverage as a result of the family drama dominating the week before the wedding in Windsor, England. As any rom-com about a wedding will tell you, the week before the couple's big day wasn't without some more family issues, but thanks to true fairy tale magic, Meghan Markle's family was dropped from royal wedding coverage, and I'm honestly thrilled. Dickens emphasises that these are the "chains (he) made in life," implying that he is suffering as a result of his own deeds.I've followed Meghan Markle's family drama leading up to her and Prince Harry's wedding as much as any fan of the royals would, and while she may have some dysfunctional family bonds (and don't we all?), Meghan's parents obviously love and support her ahead of this new stage of her life. His Ghost is said to be chained with "cash boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, and deeds," all of which are objects related to his profession. Purgatory is a region of excruciating pain and "constant agony." Dickens demonstrates that Marley's misery is a direct result of his attitude toward others throughout his life. Dickens portrays him in purgatory, a place of uncertainty between death and heaven where sinners' spirits wander until they have repented of their misdeeds and are allowed to enter Paradise. The physical portrayal of the Christian belief system of heaven and hell, as well as the need for repentance and salvation, may be seen in Marley's Ghost. In the first stave, when the two Portly Gentlemen beg Scrooge for charity money, he says he will not contribute since it is not his 'business.'


'Mankind was my business' suggests that represents Dickens' views on social responsibility, namely, that we are all responsible for one another and that it is our job to assist one another. Dickens leaves the phrase seeming incomplete by pausing after two sentences, making the reader uneasy. Furthermore, in the opening phrase, Dickens breaks the rule of three.

Furthermore, it reflects Marley's sense of being confined and uncomfortable in purgatory. 'Incessant torture of remorse' suggests that by raising the pace, the two short and simple phrases create a feeling of suspense. The statement also has a metaphoric meaning, since he is now imprisoned for all eternity as a result of his actions in life. The quote 'I wear the chains I forged in life' suggests that his job required him to write 'deeds' and 'ledgers,' and that he physically created these items throughout his life. Incessant torture of remorse', and 'Mankind was my business'. This ghost warns Scrooge that if he doesn't change his ways, he will experience the consequences of sinful behaviour in his afterlife.Ī few quotes that Marley's Ghost says are 'I wear the chains I forged in life', 'no rest, no peace. It carries chains, made of cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purses wrought in steel, symbolising the things Marley spent his life on, relating to money and protecting his possessions. This ghost is portrayed as a figure of Scrooge's former business partner that died seven years ago in the story, Jacob Marley. Marley's Ghost is the first apparition in A Christmas Carol that Scrooge sees, appearing in Stave One. The ghost of Jacob Marley first appearing.
