We continued studying Dickens' social satire of lawyers and the legal profession based on last night's reading. Kaitlin's homework on this satire was very good as she recognized the significance of Wemmick's building his house as an actual physical and emotional fortress from the filth and corruption of the legal business. We discussed how Wemmick wears two distinct personalities ,one for the office and a distinct one for home . In the office ,he is mechanical and unfeeling, but we see at home he is a compassionate man who cares for his elderly father. We last noted how Mr Jaggers, the attorney in charge of Wemmick, similarly chronically washes his hands and smells of scented soap in a metaphoric effort to wash away the taint of what he must do each day in his professional life. Last, we discussed the upcoming test on Wednesday and reviewed some study techniques.
