Making Connections and Posting a Picture

Pip is always saying he wants to be a gentleman after he meets Estella.just like how Pinocchio wants to become a real boy. They both want t o be something than what they already are.

Posting A Picture

In the first two stages of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Pip has a similar life as Cinderella.  They both are living in a lower social class and then move to become a higher class person. Pip goes from living with his sister and her husband the towns’ blacksmith to a gentleman living in downtown London.  As for Cinderella she is living at home with her dads widowed wife. Once her dad has passed away her evil stepmom makes her move into the attic and made her become the maid. But then marries the Prince. The evil stepsisters are like Miss Havisham and Estella when they play with Pips emotions. As you can see these two are a lot alike in more ways then one.

When Pip was younger he was irresponsible but then as the chapters went on he got more responsible. As he was becoming a gentleman, he learned proper manners and how to act properly in public and he became closer with the pale young gentleman whose name we found out later to be Herbert.

2nd Stage

During the first stage a major motif that is occurring a lot is guilt. It seems to me that the entire 1st stage is based off of the fact that Pip feels very guilty for stealing from Joe and he cannot get over it until he moves to London in the Second Stage.

 When Pip moves to London to become a gentleman he becomes full of himself and discovers the pale young gentleman's real identity. As Pip becomes a gentleman he also spends more and more money than what he should be spending, this could be foreshadowing something that will happen later on in the story.
