Question

"A fearful man, all in coarse gray, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. A man who had been soaked in water, and smothered in mud, and lamed by stones, and cut by flints, and stung by nettles, and torn by briars; who limped and shivered, and glared and growled; and whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin."

In Great Expectations, does the man seem "fearful" and what details make them think so?

A: The man seems "fearful" in that he is causing or likely to cause people to be afraid of him. The descriptive details of the man's appearance gives this impression.
