" Then I put the fastenings on the door... and ran for the misty marshes" (Dickens, 14).
Not only is the mist in the marshes helping to develop the setting of Dickens novel, the Thames Marshes, but it is also adding to the tone of mystery and fear. Pip is scared of the man he met at the cemetery and is worried about his upcoming fate. With the world also being covered in mist, he can't see what is up ahead of him.
