We see this when Dickens writes "no new wretches ever came there", as well as when he describes the inn as "dismal" and "rotting". ]]> 2022-10-20 13:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075611 https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075615 "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.]]> 2022-10-20 13:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075615 rolappb https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075631 This quote implies that it's suicidal to live in Barnard's Inn, that the gloom and decay will make you psychotic over time.

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. ]]> 2022-10-20 13:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075708 collinsf2 https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075886 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]]> 2022-10-20 13:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075886 hardya3 https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075934 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.]]> 2022-10-20 13:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075934 hallinand https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075978 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.]]> 2022-10-20 13:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349075978 masseyk5 https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349076282 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).]]> 2022-10-20 13:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349076282 https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349076932 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.]]> 2022-10-20 13:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349076932 https://padlet.com/sohara5/2m2xj0zkqhmeki8s/wish/2349076954 Pip describes, "Dilapidated blind and curtain, crippled flower pot, cracked glass..."

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).
