Great Expectations
Lesson Outline
We studied the impact of money on character. We first noted Pip's augmented arrogance with respect to Joe highlighted by Pip's decision not to have Joe accompany him to the stagecoach to London due to embarrassment. We further examined how the shopkeepers in town hypocritically now treat Pip with fulsome respect and flattery, as Pip himself notes the "power of money." Next, we began the analysis of Dickens' satire and criticism of lawyers, the courts, and the legal system. Contrary to Pip's "expectations ", London and Jaggers' legal office is dismal , dirty, and reminiscent of death, evidenced by the "decorative" death masks Jaggers hangs on his walls.
