As Pip a poor young orphaned boy grows up, he needed someone to care, love, and listen to him, and Joe Gargery was that person for Pip. In the novel, The Great Expectation, Joe Gargery, Pip’s brother-in-law who whole heartedly takes Pip in and raised him as his own, became a father to Pip. As the novel progresses, Joe eventually became more than a father; he was Pip’s confidant, his conscience, and Dickens uses Joe to bring a moral side to the novel.
