Imagery and symbolism

Patterns of imagery and symbolism in Great Expectations are not easily separated from other literary features of the novel. As can be seen from the sections on Narrative, Themes and significant ideas and Structure the book is very tightly organised, so that one feature supports another. This section, therefore, will contain some cross-references to other locations in this guide, and you should also look out for discussions of particular points and passages in the Going deeper parts of Synopses.
