About Jacob Marley
In life, Jacob Marley was the business partner of Ebeneezer Scrooge. However, as he duly noted from beyond the grave, "Mankind should have been my business!" In Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Marley's ghost visited Scrooge on Chritmas Eve, warning him to change his ways and that he would be visited by three ghosts that night who would show him how and the errors he had made in his life. Doomed for eternity for his callous nature, Jacob Marley was wrapped in a series of large, clanking chains he dragged along with him, a reminder of the weight of his heart and lack of care for his fellow humans.
Dressing up as Jacob Marley
One of the most striking figures with a memorable look in A Christmas Carol is the ghost of Jacob Marley. Opt for the Jacob Marley costume or the Ghostly Gent costume, as to whichever strikes your preference. Each features a pair of pants and a suit jacket in faded grey/white, appropriately tattered for a look that wails "restless spirit." Long chains are included with the Jacob Marley costume, as is a faded top hat with attached wig.
Tie a scarf around your head and under your chin for the Victorian custom of tying the dead's mouth closed so it wouldn't drop open. Classy!
Accessorize with white shoes, white gloves, and white cream makeup to give a ghostly pallor to your face.
