Estella was raised by Miss Havisham at Satis House in the book Great Expectations. She was taught to break hearts and was groomed to break Pip's heart, whom she ultimately marries.

In "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens, the clock stops at 8:40 to symbolize the moment when Miss Havisham's life was frozen in time, following her failed wedding day. It represents her desire to hold on to that moment and her inability to move forward in her life.

Pip discovers that Wemmick has a caring and compassionate side when he witnesses how devoted he is to his Aged Parent and provides a loving and nurturing environment for him at Walworth. This contrast to his tough and ruthless demeanor at work showcases the complexity of Wemmick's character in "Great Expectations."

Bentley Drummle's arrogance and haughty behavior remind Pip of the character of Compeyson, who was a con artist that mistreated Miss Havisham in the past. Both characters exhibit a sense of entitlement and selfishness that contrasts with Pip's own values and humility.

Wemmick visits Newgate prison to check on an inmate who he is helping with legal matters. He believes in providing support to those in need, especially if they have no one else to turn to. Wemmick also feels a sense of duty to help those who are less fortunate or disadvantaged.

Joe tells Pip that he was orphaned as a child and raised by his sister, Mrs. Joe Gargery. He also shares with Pip that he is grateful for the love and kindness he received from his sister, despite her harsh manner.

Herbert is kind and supportive towards Pip in "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. He is loyal and understanding of Pip's struggles, offering him friendship and guidance throughout the novel. Herbert's positive attitude and encouragement contribute to Pip's growth and development.

Pip learns that Estella has married Bentley Drummle, a cruel and abusive man. This news devastates Pip as he had always hoped for a chance with Estella despite their differences in social status.

Pip attended a village school where he was taught by Mr. Wopsle's great-aunt. He later received private education under the sponsorship of a mysterious benefactor, leading to his move to London and a more refined education.

Expectations can influence the perceptions of others by shaping how we interpret their behaviors, leading us to see what we expect to see rather than what is actually there. When we have specific expectations of someone, we may selectively pay attention to information that confirms those expectations while overlooking information that contradicts them. This can create bias and impact how we interact and communicate with others.

The soldiers wanted to see Joe in "Great Expectations" because they believed he was the one responsible for stealing the pork pie and the file from the blacksmith's house. They wanted to question him about the theft and potentially accuse him of the crime.

The antagonist is typically a static character because it is the protagonist that must make the "hero's journey." If an antagonist becomes a dynamic character, changing, then they often become the protagonist. An example of this is Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies. During Episodes IV and most of V, he is cast as a typical villain, clad in black. During the last parts of Episode V, and Episode VI, he evolves, becoming a father figure and eventually with the release of the prequels, Star Wars becomes less about Luke Skywalker (as one of the original protagonists) and more about the journey of his father, Anakin Skywalker.

Pip's sister becomes fearful and mistrustful of Orlick after the attack, as she blames him for the incident and no longer wants him around. Prior to the attack, she had trusted Orlick and even allowed him to accompany her; afterwards, she becomes more guarded and wary of his presence.

In "Great Expectations," social class is a central theme that shapes the characters' lives and interactions. Pip's desire to move up the social hierarchy and become a gentleman drives much of the plot. The novel explores the rigid social divisions of Victorian England and how they impact individuals' opportunities and relationships.

Mr. Trabb treats the young boy who works for him harshly, often scolding him and giving him orders without showing much kindness or concern. He sees the boy as a mere employee, rather than a person deserving of respect or consideration.

One possible cause and effect relationship from Great Expectations is the influence of wealth and social class on Pip's development. As Pip rises in social status, he becomes disillusioned with the emptiness of his expectations, realizing that true happiness lies in meaningful relationships and virtue rather than material wealth.

Yes, my expectations have been met.

Mr. Jaggers' housekeeper in Great Expectations was named Molly.

Jaggers poses the hypothetical situation to advise Pip with his opinion, regarding Estella's origins from Magswich and Molly, which was basically 'telling anybody won't do any good and perhaps might be harmful for Estella being in the upper class.' Since their initial encounter, Jaggers is a man who generally disapproves of divulging into opinions and emotion and shows so by humiliating Pumblechook at the Jolly Bargemen and ejecting the potential crying client that is encountered at the end of the chapter.

In "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens, Arthur Havisham dies from setting fire to his own clothes and ultimately being consumed by the flames. He meets this tragic end during a confrontation with Miss Havisham.
