What is the purpose of the visits Marley describes in a Christmas carol?

Jacob Marley was doomed to wander the earth for eternity as "pennance" for his evil treatment of humankind while he lived. Charles Dickens describes his punishment by providing the visual context of the great chain Marley wears when he appears to Ebeneezer Scrooge. The chain has many items attached, including money boxes, to symbolize those things that were most important to Marley. Marley declares that Scrooge's own chain was every bit as "long and ponderous" as Marley's a full seven years previously when Marley died. Scrooge's only chance for redemption, then, appears to be a full repentance from the greed and avarice of his life's work, and a new and honest interest in the affairs of others.

In A Christmas Carol what does Marley's chain symbolize?

The chains that Marley wear symbolize all the mistakes that Marley made when he was alive. Built from the same mold as Scrooge, he was a miser and is warning Scrooge that if Scrooge doesn't change he will carry around these same chains but longer because Scrooge has lived longer than Marley. These chains are like the sins you have in your conscience. It is a burden. Marley says "I wear the chain I forged in life. I made link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it. Is its pattern strange to you?" Marley anguishes his mistakes and doesn't like the chains, he has learned to live with his mistakes and knows he can't change them. To make a long story short, the chains symbolize mistakes and are a warning to Scrooge to change so he can escape the fate of Marley's.
