Pip called himself Pip as a child because he struggled to pronounce his name Philip when he was young. As he grew older, the nickname stuck and became the name he was known by. Additionally, the name Pip is more endearing and memorable, contributing to its continued use throughout the story.

Why is Pip the hero in Great Expectations?

Pip is a hero in great expectations because at times he puts others before himself. I would call him a romantic hero because he set out to get something for himself but he ended up helping others. In the first chapter I would say pip is somewhat of a hero as heroes are described as people who are admired for their brave or noble deeds, and pip is certainly brave being in a graveyard all by himself and certainly noble when he risks personall harm by mrs Joe when he gets the food for his convict. Later in the novel, pip unfourtunatetley becomes a rather horrible person, but he then manages to redeem himself by trying to get magwitch out of the country much further on in the book.


Why does Pip call magwitch uncle provis?

Pip calls Magwitch "Uncle Provis" as an alias to protect his identity and aid in his escape from the law. By using this false name, Pip helps Magwitch avoid detection while showing respect and loyalty to him during their time together. It also serves as a way for Pip to distance himself from Magwitch's criminal past.
