A mutation is a change in DNA, the hereditary material of life. An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves, and its physiology. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life.
The Gothic in Great Expectations. Professor John Bowen considers how Dickens uses the characters of Magwitch and Miss Havisham to incorporate elements of the Gothic in Great Expectations. Great Expectations is not a Gothic novel in any simple sense. Like all of Dickensâs writings, and perhaps all writing, it belongs to more than one genre. At times it resembles a fairytale, at other times a realistic or a comic novel, at others a melodrama: most commonly, it blends together the qualities of several genres.
Great expectation was set on Christmas eve in 1812 and carried on until winter 1840.It was written in 1860 by Charles Dickens. The book was actually finished August 3, 1861. Charles Dickens would publish sections of this book in a newspaper called All the Year Round's.
