Lesson Outline
As Part III of the novel unravels the novel's mysteries often through the use of coincidence, we examined Dickens' use or overuse of coincidence analyzing which ones organically work and which ones seem too far fetched. Marcel felt that because the book was fiction some use of coincidence was justified..I then placed thematic notes on the board noting how the novel's villain, Compeyson, was a forger, Pip worked in a "forge" as blacksmith 's apprentice, and how the novel 's genre requires Pip to "forge " or discover his true self or identity,. We explored the novel's continued motif of clothes as a disguise or cover for one's true identify as this motif reappears as Pip attempts to disguise ,Magwitch , a convict, from discovery by authorities and by Compeyson.Pip notes the more he tries to disguise Magwitch the more Magwitch's true identify peers through. We also reviewed Marcel's study guide homework making additions where necessary , and the MLA citations Marcel prepared for his research paper. For homework due Monday read ch 44-47.
