And here are some comments from people who participated in the poll:

Regarding Marley:

• He brings afterlife to the story and therefore makes readers consider their own mortality.
• Tis a ponderous chain!!

Regarding the Ghost of Christmas Present:

• He is my favorite because he's the only ghost who could show you what you are unaware of while there is still time to fix it.
• He gives a feeling of joy and happiness!!

Regarding the Ghost of Christmas Future:

• It is always better to be prepared
• This being the scariest and most pertinent to the tale's theme of redemption.
