1)

·      He was a rich man: banker, merchant, manufacturer, and what not.

·      A big, loud man, with a stare, and a metallic laugh.

·      A man made out of a coarse material, which seemed to have been stretched to make so much of him.

·      A man with a great  puffed head and forehead, swelled veins in his temples, and such a strained skin to his face that it seemed to hold his eyes open, and lift his eyebrows up.

·      A man with a pervading appearance on him of being inflated like a balloon, and ready to start.

·      A man who could never sufficiently vaunt himself a self-made man.

·      A man who was always proclaiming, through that brassy speaking-trumpet of a voice of his, his old ignorance and his old poverty.

·      A man who was the Bully of humility.

·      He had not much hair.

BOUNDER: a man who behaves badly or in a way that is not moral, especially in his relationships with women. The surname reinforces the phases "man perfectly devoid of sentiment" and "the Bully of humility".

 

5)

I think that the description of Mr. Bounderby do not make the reader feel pity for him. He has a corrupted and dishonorable nature, and even if he comes from a poor family, the reader isn't involved.

 

6)

In the second sequence Mr. Bounderby describes himself, and he's consistent with the description that the novelist has done in the first sequence. Mr. Bounderby says that he was born in poor condition, and also sick. Besides he affirm that he's a self-made man.

 

7)

It's emphasized an egocentric attitude: he points out that he's a self-made man, and that he was never helped by anyone. Besides he underline also the poverty.

 

8)

What Mr. Bounderby says confirm what the novelist stated in the first sequence.

 

9)

a) He repeats "I", that points out the egocentric attitude. Besides he repeats the words "ditch", "inflammation" and "determined".

b) His way of thinking and talking underlines and points out his selfish and egoistical attitude.

c) Dickens' use of language is superb. Using the technique  of telling he describes Mr. Bounderby's physic and personality. Besides the reader is totally conditioned by the description.
