What does pip think about miss havisham?

Miss Havisham hears of Pip through Mr. Pumblechook. Excerpt: 'And couldn't she ask Uncle Pumblechook is he knew a boy to go and play there? Isn't it just barely possible that Uncle Pumblechook may be a tenant of hers, and that he may sometimes - we won't say quarterly or half-yearly, for that would be requiring too much of you - but sometimes - go there to pay his rent? And couldn't she then ask Uncle Pumblechook if he knew a boy to go and play there? And couldn't Uncle Pumblechook, being always considerate and thoughtful of us - though you may not think if, Joseph,' in a tone of depest reproach, as if he were the most callous of nephews, 'then mention this boy, standing Prancing here'--which I solemly declare I was not doing--'that I have for ever been a willing to slave to?' ~ Mrs. Joe Gargery; wife of Joe Gargery, blacksmith.


Great Expectation is a novel of social criticism Comment?

The thing about Great Expectations that makes it so unique, though boring, is that all the characters are bound by some link. For example, magwich, the convict, is the father of Estella, Mr. Jaggers has the business of taking care of Pip's "expectations", and also works for Miss Havisham, who adopted Estella. Furthur, Estella's mother works for Mr. Jaggers. Making something as complex as this while maintaining a story is difficult, which makes this book a good literary item, but in present times, very boring
