Who are Drummel and Startop in Great Expectations?

Answer 1

The students who boarded and studied with Mr. Pocket while Pip was there. Dickens describes them thus: Drummle, an old-looking young man of a heavy order of architecture, was whistling. Startop, younger in years and appearance, was reading and holding his head, as if he thought himself in danger of exploding it with too strong a charge of knowledge.

Answer 2

Drummel is a wealthy and arrogant young man who Pip encounters in Great Expectations. Startop is a kind and supportive friend of Pip's who is also a student at Matthew Pocket's school. Both characters play important roles in the story's development and in Pip's experiences.

Answer 3

In Great Expectations, Startop is one of Pip's "classmates." Startop, like Pip, is tutored by Mr. Pocket.
