Marley's chains symbolize the burdens of his sins and misdeeds in life. They serve as a metaphor for the weight and bondage of his wrongdoing. In a broader sense, the chains represent the emotional and spiritual chains that bind people to their past actions and prevent them from finding peace or redemption.
