how does dickens convey setting in great expections chapter 1?

The book opens with Pip in a dark, gloomy, almost
scary-like cemetery. He is surrounded by tombstones. Dicken's vividly describes the
cemetery, in particular Pip's view of his parents tombstones, to help the reader
understand the gloom in which Pip lives in (literally and emotionally). Dickens further
enhances the setting by describing the marsh country in which Pip has grown up. Its
every present fog reflects the "fog" that hangs in Pip's mind and heart. Pip's feelings
of loneliness are seen in the setting. The cemetery all alone on the outskirts of town.
The marsh, deserted and ever gloomy. Pip's village; one that not many venture too. These
descriptions of setting serve to illustrate what Pip is feeling and thinking as the book
opens. Dickens continues his description of the setting in chapter 3, where he vividly
describes the dew that hangs upon everything and the fog that hides everything from
view.
