In Great Expectations, toadies are sycophants who flatter the wealthy and powerful in hopes of gaining favor or advancement. Humbugs, on the other hand, are hypocritical individuals who pretend to be virtuous or honest but are actually deceitful and insincere. Both characters serve as examples of moral corruption and social manipulation in the novel.
