The extract understudy is taken from the novel «Great Expectations» by Charles Dickens, the most prominent English writer of the 19th century. It presents the scene of Pip’s encounter with his mysterious benefactor – a former convict whom he had helped to escape. The moment the truth is revealed, all his great expectations for the future come down.
The opening paragraph is entirely devoted to the description of the weather, which is brought home to the reader by means of convergence of devices + thematic group of words (wretched, stormy, wet, mud, veil, eternity, cloud, wind, gusts, blasts of rain, rages of the wind)
The weather was rainy, the idea is made clear through lexical repetition of the epithet «wet», of the noun «mud»  intesification. A pair of figurative epithets vast, heavy, … underling the wrechesness of the weather.
Rainy - «violent blasts of rain» (metaphor) lay stress on the same idea.
Foggy preceding the metaphorical reference to clouds «veil», the metaphors «an eternity of cloud»
The weather was windy. The idea is red-pencilled by the use of the lexical repetition of the epithet «stormy», the metaphors «an eternity of wind», «furious had been the gusts», «rages of the wind» and the case of personification «the sound was curiously flawed by the wind», «the wind assailed and tore it».
Suchlike weather lasted for a long period of time, which is made clear to the reader through the adverbial modifier of time «day after day» and the use of the past perfect continuous «a vast heavy veil had been driving from the East».
Adverbial modifier Day after day + Past Perfect  the weather was like that for a long time + mud was deep in all the streets. Pronoun All + plural form Streets  generalizing effect
The weather was so nasty, that it caused dramatic outcome. The idea is furnished within a sentence, which opens with complete inversion, were the emphasis is laid on the epithet «furious» underlying the strength of the wind. Further the sentence is built by means of partial parallel constructions with the use of passive voice connected polysyndetically, where the consequences are arranged logical climactically (roofs, trees, sails of windmills, shipwreck, death).
So furious – complete inversion
Partial parallel constractions
Detachment of shipwreck and death marked of with comma
The whole paragraph is arranged climactically (the weather was bad for a long time, but this day was the worst)
The description of suchlike weather creates a gloomy atmosphere and prepares the reader for the upcoming events.
The novel presents a first-person narration (by means of the pronoun “I”). The entire story is seen through the eyes and mind of the main character (Pip), who is introduced at the end of the paragraph. The weather strongly affected him. The idea is made obvious through the climactical arrangement of the last paragraph. Moreover, the end of it is very emphatic due to the use of the superlative degree of the epithet «bad» – «worst» and the pronoun «all» that creates a generalizing effect («the day … had been worst of all»).
The reader can guess that Pip was quite a wealthy person who could afford living in the City («Saint Paul’s and all the many church-clocks in the City … struck that hour»).
Pip was nervous, his emotional state is made clear through the fact that he paid special attention to the sound of church-clocks («some leading, some accompanying, some following»), where the morphemic repetition of –ing serves to intensify the duration. The verbs “assail” and “tear” with expressive negative connotation lay stress on the same idea. All of this led to him connecting the footsteps with his dead sister. A case of synecdoche («a footstep on the stair») and the interchange of indefinite and definite articles («a footstep on the stair», «the footstep of my dead sister») are also suggestive of his nervousness. Further his state of mind is mentioned directly («what nervous folly made me start»).
The epithets «nervously» and «awfully» and the description of darkness (the events took place at 11 pm, «the staircase lights were blown out», «a voice from the darkness beneath», «a narrow circle of light») help to create tension and atmosphere of suspense. Double inversion («There is nothing the matter?»), that presupposes a negative answer, serves the same purpose, furthermore it shows the extent to which Pip was frightened.
