An Analysis of the Character Pip

Pip

is

a

character

of

the

novel

Great

Expectations

which

is

written

by

Charles

Dickens.

He

is

the

most

popular

English

novelist

of

the

Victorian era,

and one of the most popular of all has many masterpieces, such as

A tale

of cities

,

David Copperfield

,

Hard time

,

Oliver Twist

and so on.

Great Expectations

is one of his masterpieces. The story in this book happened in middle of 19 century

and it reflects the gap between the rich and the poor in the capitalistic society.

Pip is the main character of this book and through the story of him we can

get the theme of the book. After reading this book, in my opinion, Pip is a kind

and ambitious man. In the beginning, I know Pip is a poor child. He lives in a

small village with his sister and Joe Garage. His parents died when he was a baby.

So

Pip

is

really

poor.

Then

he

saves

Magwitch

who

is

a

convict.

In

the

end,

Magwitch gives Pip the great expectations by sending Pip to London and letting

him receive a good education. I think it

’

s suggesting that Pip is helpful and kind

to others. In the book, there are a lot of things that tell me it. For examples, in

chapter

20,

Pip

plans

to

help

Herbert

because

both

of

them

spend

too

much

money

and

Herbert

can

hardly

afford

it.

Then

Pip

arranges

to

invest

some

money

in

a

shipping

company

called

Clarrikers

and

this

company

promises

to

make Herbert a partner of it. But Pip has to ask Miss Havisham for help since he

has

no

money

to

help

Herbert.

Except

for

this

thing,

Pip

also

forgives

Miss

Havisham and saves her from a fire. All of these things show that Pip is a good

and

tolerant man.

Actually, I didn

’

t want to continue reading the book when I read the chapter 13.

In this chapter, Pip knows

that somebody is

to give him the great

expectations

and

he

will

go

to

London

to

get

the

good

education.

Then

he

becomes

overconfident

and

unfriendly

to

Joe

and

Biddy.

I

am

really

angry

with

it

and

even I don

’

t want to continue reading. But I know it

will not be allowed and it’

s

too childish indeed. So, I am going on. In next chapters, I find other things like
