I was thrilled and then disappointed with the way Pip handled himself in Chapter 18. My heart went to Biddy and Joe as they try to show their support and hide their remorse.
I am interested in what you all have to say about Pip's change in station.

I think Pip's change is the perfect reflection of the old adage that we should be careful what we wish for, because we may get it. Pip spends most of his life seeking for things that aren't important; and the search ends up being fruitless.
ReplyDeleteIt is unfortunate that Pip feels the need to distance himself from his past in order to embrace his future. I am sure this is a result of his insecurities - insecurities that have been fostered by Mrs. Joe, Estella and Miss Havisham. I am hoping as he continues to grow that he will no longer be ashamed of Joe and Biddy. The fact that he has risen in station is a complement to his nature. He should be proud!
