Magwitch

Charles Dickens, Pip learns the rigorousness of life and utilizes them to make him a true gentleman. At the start of the story Pip rebukes Magwitch for his appearance; his dirty rags, and how poverish he is. As the story progresses, he realizes Magwitch’s prodigious effect on his life and begins to transmute his views on him. Towards the conclusion of the novel, Magwitch has died and Pip has become an incipient person with a new flair of deference. As the story progresses, Pip finds his

with so little end up in good spirits. Magwitch, a poor convict with a warm heart, and Miss Havisham, a rich jilted old lady, both are adoptive parents in a most particular way. As these two characters are introduced, we learn many differences such as their upbringings, their influences toward others, and their attitudes toward power. As Magwitch and Miss Havisham were brought up into the world, one had a rich childhood while the other had a poor. Magwitch had a life that not even a convict would

their current lifetime, lives are separated depending on the various social classes in their society. In the bildungsroman, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Miss Havisham and Magwitch bring up Estella and Pip, respectively, by contrasting methods, motives, and with different results. Miss Havisham and Magwitch both have different

plot of a book through the main character. Magwitch shows to be a character to have set the events in Great Expectations to be set in motion. In the novel Pips innocence affected Magwitch to the point that the prisoner would devote his whole life for Pip. The initial great expectations for Pip were set by the benefactors money given to him, the money Magwitch worked for was the spark that set off the events of Great Expectations. The spark started by Magwitch led to Pip becoming egocentric and eventually

deserving of the action of one’s self. An example of this would be, Magwitch’s claim that he didn't drown Compeyson and that Compeyson drowned on his own. This shows how poetic justice gave compeyson an experience deservableable for his actions to Magwitch. Appearances of poetic justice happens many times in this book, such as when Pumblechook gets robbed. In many ways, Joe receives this on multiple occasions, and he deserved them. Instances of this sort of justice happens to be gifted to Joe in his

the novel’s narrator. Dickens uses the character of Abel Magwitch to portray that society places too much value on appearances rather than attitude, this is shown by the mistreatment of Magwitch in the court, Pip having a changing fear of Magwitch throughout the novel, and Dickens showing how Magwitch is truly a good man on the inside, a true gentleman. Magwitch was sentenced to twice the jail time as his accomplice Compeyson. Both Magwitch and Compeyson were sentenced for “putting stolen notes in

Mrs Joe is his sister, Estella is his love interest, and Magwitch his his benefactor. Charles Dickens intensifies Characterization in his novel Great Expectations to show how Mrs.Joe, Havisham, and Magwitch are viewed differently from Pip’s eyes compared to other characters in the story. Mrs.Joe is a character that is seen as terrifying and irrationally mean through Pip’s eyes. Through

about a lot of information about Pips history and under different circumstances it would have taken a lot longer to explain; things like Pip's parents and family, which were quickly and subtlety explained to the readers using the gravestones when Magwitch asked "Where's your mother?" and Pip's response being "There sir" as he points to his Mother, Father and five sibling's gravestones. Throughout the book the setting reflects Pip's mood e.g. Pip's experiences of suffering and torture, both mental

people who lived through others by watching from afar, but still maintaining an element of control. While the example of Magwitch is a very positive one, in which he turns his life around and lives honestly, the example of Miss Havisham is a very negative one, in which she destroys and damages the life of her adopted daughter. Miss Havisham adopted and lived through Estella; Magwitch lived through Philip Pirrip, or Pip and living through them left permanent effects on their lives Miss Havisham sought

While it may not be immediately evident, the point in Pip’s life when he discovers Abel Magwitch is his benefactor is a turning point for Pip, as he begins to revert back to his loving and kind-hearted attitude before his fixation with class clouded his mind. Near the time Magwitch is apprehended, Pip starts to realize how ungrateful he has been to the people in his life who care about him. In Dickens’ Great Expectations, Pip is an
