Great Expectation Discussin Notes

What we discussed in our groups about the use literary techniques in Great Expectations went from tone to irony. For example the allusion of the poverty relating to both Pip and Dickens. Another is the use of irony in the beginning. For example when Pip helps out the man at the grave , but then it turns out that that man is a criminal and he screws over Pip. Others include the somber tone of the whole novel in general.
