Great Expectations

Great Expectations

Explaining Pip's Redemptive Process in Great Expectaiongs                         The way that Pip falls, and redeems himself is important in great expectations. 
Dickens uses Pip's deterioration from an innocent boy into an arrogant gentleman and his redemption as a good-natured person to show the idea that unrealistic hopes and expectations can lead to bad traits.
 
In the beginning of the novel, Pip is a harmless, caring boy. His parents are "dead and buried", and as an orphan he  has never seen "any likeness of either of them" (p. 1). Sympathy for Pip increases, when he robs his own home.  For example, when Mrs. Joe leaves the Sunday dinner to retrieve the "savoury pork pie," which Magwitch had enjoyed heartily, Pip is tortured by the thought of his actions, while his mind screams, "Must they! Let them not hope to taste it!" (p. 27).  He is tortured by his conscience.  As Pip develops unrealistic hopes and expectations for his life, undesirable characteristics replace these positive ones.
