that mrs. joe (pips sister) has passed away.
Joe looks after pip while his sister beats him so pip has a closer bond to Joe than his sister
Mrs. Joe, Pip's sister, is one of the antagonists in Great Expectations.
This is because Joe's wife is Pips sister.
Joe Gargery is the name of Pips sister in the novel Great Expectations. Pips sister is referred to as 'Miss Joe' this is because during the Victorian period women were the lesser sex and their identity comes from their husband. However 'Miss Joe' is a very strong character and I feel Joe is more scared of her then anything and it seems she rules the roost.
Joe is married to Pip's sister, Mrs. Joe Gargery. Joe is a kind-hearted blacksmith who cares for Pip and Mrs. Joe, despite her harsh treatment of him. Their relationship is one of mutual respect, with Joe serving as a calming presence in their household.
Pip experiences conflicting feelings about his good fortune as he becomes disillusioned with his expectations and desires. His changing expectations lead him to feel ashamed and disconnected from Joe and Biddy, whom he sees as beneath his new station in life. This divide in social status and his attempts to distance himself from his humble origins strain his relationships with Joe and Biddy.
