5. Theme, satire and figurative language
Metaphor:
"The Aged must have been stirring with the lark, for, glancing into the perspective of his bedroom, I observed that his bed was empty."(Dickens, 482)
 Dickens used the metaphor "Stirring with the lark" to describe that  what the Aged was doing was mischievous and wasn’t in his bedroom like he should be.
Imagery:
 "The Aged was likewise occupied in preparing a similar sacrifice for the altar of Hymen."(Dickens, 482)                                
Dickens uses a reference to the Greek god Hymen to symbolize how long and meticulous the Aged was being while getting ready.
Theme, satire and figurative language
Don’t take anyone for granted because they may not be there tomorrow.
This is referring to the fact that Herbert is leaving and Magwitch is being taken away from Pip. So he has to let go of the fact that they wont be there anymore.

6. Chapter 56 summary (The what)
Magwitch is found guilty and sentenced to death. He is very sick and pip visits him every day in the infirmary. Pip tries to get the sentence removed but no one responds to his letters. He continues to visit Magwitch and tells Magwitch during his final moments that Estella, his daughter, who Magwitch thought died a long time ago, is still alive and that pip loves her.

7. The Why
Magwitch being sentenced to death justifies why pip is sending letters to the secretary of state to try and get the sentence removed
Since being sentenced, Pips visiting hours with Magwitch were shorten
Since Magwitch is dying, Pip decides to tell him that his child never died. 
When Magwitch died, it influenced Pip to say “O lord, be merciful to him a sinner!” because there were no better words.

8. The How
Pip going to visit Magwitch every day affected Magwitch because it made him happy while he was dying
Pip telling Magwitch that his daughter Estella is alive made made him happy because he thought that she was dead

9. Theme, satire and figurative language
Imagery:
"The whole scene starts out again in the vivid colours of the moment , down to the drops of April rain on the windows of the court, glittering in the rays of April sun.“(Dickens, 486)
Dickens uses this sentence to describe how the court room looks while Pipi is waiting to find out the charge against Magwitch.
Satire:
“But nothing could unsay the fact that he had returned, and was there in the presence of the judge and jury. It was impossible to try him for that, and to do otherwise than to find him guilty.” (Dickens, 486)
Dickens is satirizing the justice system by saying that it was prejudice.
Theme, satire and figurative language
Nothing lasts forever, so cherish what you have
This is referring to Magwitch coming into Pips  life and then leaving after a short period of time.
