This whole novel is bound together with elements of darkness. Accompany that with mists and you have a very dark novel. Dickens uses light to symbolize a contrast with the darkness, and this imprints the Gothic element in our brain. Dickens uses the narrator point of view to show that it is a memoir of Pip. Dickens uses Pip to foreshadow events, and give hints to the reader of what is to come ahead without giving everything away. Dickens uses the Allusion when Pip goes to see one of Shakespeare's plays Hamlet. Dickens creates a mood that is very dark, as mentioned above, by using imagery for the reader to picture it. The choice of language in this book suits each character. Pip seems very innocent and this shapes him as a character. The tone is reflective, remorseful, bittersweet, comical, and passionate.
