    Pip is used by his elders in society. He is constantly manipulated by them and turned into a puppet that is tasked with preforming their bidding. The first example of this is in chapter one of Great Expectations, when The Convict used Pip to obtain goods for his own need. The Convict appeared in the graveyard and grabbed Pip, and said “you get me a file, and you get me some wittles”. He expects that Pip will get him what he wants because of his threatening demeanor, and the threats that he relayed upon him. Another example of this is how Mrs. Havisham uses Pip as a piece of her “sick fantasy”. Mrs. Havisham has Pip come to her house on many occasions to “play” with Estella. Mrs. Havisham claims they are “playing", even though her true intentions…

    Pip continues to remember his visit and later goes on to detail an even scarier description: a “faded spectre in the chair by the dressing-table glass….” Pip is comparing Miss Havisham to a ghost, seemingly unreal and unrelatable to a mortal human. He has a lack of connection to Miss Havisham, seeing her as something static and unchanging, like an old house or a room, in contrast to how he views himself, dynamic and changing. Next, Pip discusses how he feels the “stopping of the clocks had stopped Time in that mysterious place….” Again, everything around Pip is changing: he’s apprenticed to Joe, it’s his birthday, and Biddy moved in with his family, but Miss Havisham and her property remain the same. Estella’s feelings towards Pip hasn’t changed either, as she is still as cold and distant as she was the first time she met Pip. The strangeness of Miss Havisham and her manor astonishes Pip, and, despite him being dreadfully afraid of them, he still feels himself looking closer and becoming more and more fascinated and obsessed with them. This attraction towards Miss Havisham surfaces later in the novel, when Pip becomes convinced that Miss Havisham has a plan for him and Estella together despite having no evidence of…

    Before the very beginning of the novel, the conflict of the novel is already set in motion. Pip is an orphan at the start of the novel as his parents were long gone and he lives with his sister, Mrs. Joe, and her husband, Joe, the blacksmith. As a result of the two siblings and the older sibling’s husband living together without any parents, the family was relatively poor. Thus, in addition to Mrs. Joe’s strict attitude and the fact that his status is in the lower class, Pip had a rough childhood. The fact that Pip had a childhood full of hardship and is poor sets up for his later decision to become a gentleman through a secret benefactor. When Pip do decides to leave for a new life in London, he upsets Biddy and especially Joe as he recently became an apprentice of his; their life-long friendship falls apart. This is one of the major decisions Pip has to make and it changed the entire course of the plot as the setting of the story shifts from Pip’s first known home in Kent to…

    The famed Greek philosopher, Plato, once remarked that “[the] notion of the just man, that… even when he is in poverty or sickness, or any other seeming misfortune, [will have] all things… work together for good to him in life and death.” Plato argues that the actions of just people will produce serenity in their life and goodwill from others. In Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens, Pip is kind and caring to Estella; however, Estella disregards Pip’s appearance and apparent station in society, which she considers beneath her. Pip’s actions and beliefs are vindicated when he lives a happy and peaceful life while Estella is abused by her husband similar to how she misused Pip in the past.…

    Dickens makes it clear that Pip is very young because on paragraph two on chapter one Pip looks at his mothers and father’s gravestone and tries to imagine what they look like by the lettering on the gravestone by the writing on the tombstone, I can show this by... “I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly”. This shows that Pip is a little boy who is trying to imagine what his mother and father looks like. This gives the reader more sympathy and sorrow for pip because he has no family except from his sister but Pip has to grow up with no brothers to play with and no parents to be there for him when he’s upset or to see him grow up.…

    To show the readers the sudden change that has occurred, Dickens uses parallelism by showing the old Pip and the new Pip in one paragraph. When he first gets on the carriage to London, he cries. This shows us the small and fragile kind of person Pip used to be. It showed that he was saddened to leave Biddy, Joe, and scared of going to London, “So subdued I was by those tears,/ We changed again, and yet…
