Skits.

The first skit I'd like to see acted out is when Pip goes to the churchyard and meets Magwitch for the first time. I'd like to see this scene because it's very important towards the whole book, since Magwitch is Pip's benefactor.The second skit is when Pip makes his first visit to the Satis House and meets Estella and Miss Havisham for the very first time. This scene is very memorable and is one of the turning points in Pip's life. It'd be entertaining to see someone act out Miss Havisham and Pip's reactions towards her. Last but not least, I'd like to see the scene where Biddy is fed up with Pip making excuses, and she stands up to him. This is a good scene to be acted out because this is where Biddy's character really develops and shows the reader that she's becoming more outspoken.

Another Question!

When Pip goes to visit Miss Havisham and Estella for the very last time, he tells Estella that he loves her. But Estella's only response was that she was going to marry Drummle. She had no real reaction to Pip displaying his true feelings for her. Although, Miss Havisham felt somewhat bad for Pip. What I don't understand is why does Miss Havisham all of a sudden feel bad for Pip? She's the one who raised Estella to break a boys heart, and that's exactly what Estella did... so Miss Havisham should not feel bad for Pip, but yet she does.

I have a question.

When Mr. Jaggers is talking about Orlick to Pip, he says, "he is not the right sort of man, Pip because the man who fills the post of trust is never the right sort of man." (245) What I'm wondering is, what does Mr Jaggers mean by "the man who fills the post of trust"? I'm thinking that it's some sort of metaphor. Overall, I just don't understand what Jaggers was trying to tell Pip.

Great Expectations: Photo Post

This photo symbolizes when Pip leaves his home and heads to London and thinks, "We changed, and yet again, and it was now too late and too far to go back, and I went on. And now the mists had all solemnly risen now, and the world lay spread before me." (160) The butterfly represents Pip's old life; his family, Biddy, his future career as a blacksmith, everything. He's letting go of his old life and leaving it behind. The chains tied around the two hands signify the fact that Pip can't turn back now. He has to leave everything and everyone behind in his old life, start fresh, and become the gentleman he's always wanted to be.
