This setting is gloomy and depressing - suggesting a bleak mood of alienation and sadness. It is here that Pip first encounters the convict. mgreco9 https://padlet.com/mgreco9/dzmir3309zah/wish/314300650 2018-12-13 15:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mgreco9/dzmir3309zah/wish/314300650 The forge refers both to Pip's home and to the blacksmith's shop attached to it, next to the marshes. Characters associated with the forge are Pip's sister, who is raising him "by hand" and Pip's brother-in-law, Joe, whose kindly nature is Pip's comfort in a frightening world. The forge is also associated with Orlick, Joe's blacksmith's apprentice, who later becomes an ominous figure. The mood of this setting is usually cozy, although it can become claustrophobic and frightening when Mrs. Joe is "on the rampage." Occasionally, Uncle Pumblechook, the Wopsles and the Hubbles come to visit. mgreco9 https://padlet.com/mgreco9/dzmir3309zah/wish/314301951 2018-12-13 15:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mgreco9/dzmir3309zah/wish/314301951 The name "Satis House" literally means "enough house."
