Question

In both the book and film version of Great Expectations, Pip describes his first impression of Mrs. Havisham: she is dressed in an old, tattered wedding dress, the room is filled with clocks that don't work, and the table is set with dinnerware covered in cobwebs and dust.

Answer 2

Answer:

The audience learns about Mrs. Havisham's character through what they see.

Explanation:

Imagery refers to a literary device in which the author uses particularly intense and vivid language in order to pay a picture in the reader's mind. This allows the reader to make his story more vivid, as well as move the plot forward. In this example, the reader is able to construct an idea of Ms. Havisham based on the description of the scene Pip encounters.
