Marley's mouth is fettered shut in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" as a symbol of the burdens and regrets he carries in death due to his selfish life. The chains represent the consequences of his actions and the inability to communicate or express his remorse for not helping others when he had the chance. This imagery emphasizes the importance of compassion and generosity, serving as a warning to Ebenezer Scrooge about the potential fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways.
