In Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Pip experiences many different locations and peoples. Pips geography affects the novel in many ways. The swamp where Pip meets the convict plays into the novel because it creates an eerie, and mysterious mood that keeps the reader on edge. Another location that Pip travels to is London. London plays perfectly into the role because of its gloomy, dark feel. This contradicts Pip's great expectations, and is not the wonderful, high class world Pip expected. The people in London are affected by their surroundings, and reflect them somewhat. The people that Pip meets are dark and mysterious, like Mr. Jaggers and Miss Havisham. Lastly, compared to the new places Pip travels, his home seems quite comforting and warm. The atmosphere of his home helps to show Pip that his great expectations may not be as great as he expected.
