In Part II of the novel, Dickens satirizes a society that values wealth and class.Today's lesson focused on identifying how this theme is illustrated. We discussed how the scene with Trabb's boy prostrating himself in a mockery of Pip, and Wopsle's woeful performance of Hamlet, reflect Pip's pretentious performance as a gentleman of wealth and class. Matthew discussed how money has changed Pip's value system as we examined how Pip uses his social status to have both Orlick and Trabb's boy fired. In that regard, we further discussed how Pip attempts to assuage his conscience by sending Joe a barrel of oysters rather than visiting Joe. We additionally reviewed Matthew's study guide homework and made additions and modifications where appropriate . HW- reread ch 28, study guide ch. 25 ,and portions of study guide ch 32.
