Daniel Quilp's appearance

He is a representation of all the evil in the world, through his grotesque and malformed appearance. It seems his bad deeds are the reason for his appearance – the uglier a person’s actions, the uglier they are perceived to be.

Old Curiosity Shop

This shop is a random and rather odd place, with its unusual artefacts and items. It seems that this is home to the most unique items and is therefore a fitting home for someone like Nell and her grandfather. Perhaps this is why Frederick is convinced that there is some misplaced fortune gained from the place – but really, the wealth was in the hope and love the place generated.
