Diction: very descriptive and wordy.
Syntax: sentences are all lengthy in order to describe or set up the scene taking place.

Mood: ominous and creepy. It lurks throughout the novel to create a not so happy picture for the places that the characters live in.
Conflict (inner): Lorry's dreams worry him about what's coming.
Imagery: Dickens uses his diction and syntax to paint a perfect picture of what he's describing.
