When Pip enters the dismal garden with the gloomy trees and animals, he describes the spooky buildings as "the windows of the sets of chambers into Wich those houses were divided were in every stage of dilapidated blind and curtain, crippled flower pot, cracked glass, dusty decay, and miserable makeshift;" I thought this meant that when the passage says the windows are separated with decay, and that no new people came here, it exemplifies the idea of decay and rot.

"To Let, To Let, To Let, glared at me from empty rooms, as if no new wretches ever came there, and the vengeance of the soul of Barnard were being slowly appeased by the gradual suicide of the present occupants and their unholy internment under the gravel." Dickens likens the Inn to a gravesite, as those who visit bury themselves...

The Barnard Inn is described with many words associated with death, such as a burying-ground. This specific description can symbolize not only how the place was decayed and miserable, but could mean how people staying here were hopeless.

The barnyard is filled with more than one species. Little critters like mice, rats, and bugs, all have made their home inside the barnyard. Pip notices the, "rot of rat and mouse and bug ..." (Dickens). Even when Pip thinks he's all alone in London, he still has things living with him. Even if they aren't human.

Pip describes, "Dilapidated blind and curtain, crippled flower pot, cracked glass..." This description illustrates the lack of attention and love that the Barnard hotel has received. This represents the sadness of the hotel.

Rot: By using the senses to showcase the scent of rot in all its various forms , Dickens highlights just decrepit the state of the Inn is due to the common association of rot with motifs of abandonment, loss, endings, and decay.

Pip is very disappointed by Barnard's inn because he expected it to be nice but it was actually shabby and dusty. This demonstrates how he is high maintenance and has high expectations for everything. "Whereas I now found Barnard to be a disembodied spirit, or a fiction, and his inn the dingiest collection of shabby buildings ever squeezed together in a rank corner as a club for Tom-cats" (Dickens).

Once Pip begins to narrate about Barnard's Inn, it is shown that there are many suggestions to how the Inn isn't run too well. "A frowzy mourning of soot and smoke attired this forlorn creation of Barnard, and it had strewn ashes on its head, and was undergoing penance and humiliation as a mere dust-hole." This has meaning because it represents what the creation of Barnard is. From the soot to the ashes, it might be telling the reader that it isn't taken care of too well, and that the inside and the outside of the building might look run down. This is also shown more past the sentences in the quote above due to the fact that it is mentioned that there is a lot of rotting on the roof and cellar.

Pip entered the gates of the hotel owned by Mr. Barnard. Pip said, "We entered this haven through a wicket gate..." This quote illustrates that Pip thought the hotel was a perfect, safe place. The wicket gate is a symbol for perfection. Later in the passage we see that it actually isn't so perfect.

the Barnard seems to be a place of decay, where the square looks like a cementary and the owner seems to be there but also somewhere else

"We entered this haven through a wicket gate and were discouraged by an introductory passage into a melancholy little square that looked to me like a flat burying ground." This passage from Great Expectations shows Pip's expectations were a little more in a fantasy world than reality. Pip had been dreaming of going to London for his whole life, and now that he is finally beginning to live in his dream world, he is starting to realize that London isn't exactly a fantasy land. There are imperfections no matter where you go in the world... some flaws are just more apparent than others.

Barnard's Inn is described as a graveyard, or a "flat burying ground" and dismal, or gloomy, to Pip, showing that he doesn't feel completely comfortable.

This quote implies that it's suicidal to live in Barnard's Inn, that the gloom and decay will make you psychotic over time. That Barnard seeks revenge on all those that inhabit his Inn and that they might become suicidal, possibly as he once was.

The rot all around the inn tells us that it is slowly decaying, and that not many people stay there any more. We see this when Dickens writes "no new wretches ever came there", as well as when he describes the inn as "dismal" and "rotting".

"I thought it had the most dismal trees in it, and the most dismal sparrows, and the most dismal cats, and the most dismal houses (in number half a dozen or so), that I had ever seen (Dickens)." This quote illustrates the setting in the Haven and how it gives off an eery feeling, the author made sure to be very specific and use lots of detail in his description.
