As Mr. Jaggers says in the famous book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens: “Now I return to that young man. And the communication I have to make is that he has high expectations (Dickens 107). This statement was the only event that allowed the rest of the occurrences in the book to happen as they did. It is very clear to me that the absence of this event would have deprived Pip of the great lessons he learned while being stuck between two worlds. Additionally, it would have been impossible for the other protagonists to mature to the point where they could also have the same epiphany that Pip was privileged to experience. As we know, in the book, Charles Dickens tries to demonstrate how the protagonists are stuck between two worlds. The two worlds presented in the book are upper class and lower class and when compared we can see how different these two worlds are. The affluent upper class is somewhat of a superficial setting where people must project an image of wealth because they are judged on their material possessions. Therefore, people are prone to accumulating a large amount of debt. Not all characteristics of the upper class are negative, however. In the upper class, you have the opportunity to gain a respectable education and aspire to the heights you want to reach. On the other hand, lower class places more emphasis on what kind of person you are, mainly because in a lower class setting, everyone knows everyone. Additionally, there is no real need to have luxury items because the few possessions people have are worked on tirelessly. Finally, unlike the upper class, there is a lack of education as one has to spend more time ensuring that you...... middle of paper ...... in its development it believes that Joe is not good enough to be with him. The biggest problem preventing Pip from returning to the lower class is the fact that Miss Havisham and Estella have made Pip believe that money and a certain appearance makes you superior. Then Pip became unhappy because his shoes were in bad shape and he was unrefined, which made him want the life of a gentleman so much that he couldn't even think about becoming a simple apprentice again. Magwitch, however, had the problem of not being upper class as he was unrefined and was still a convict. Additionally, Magwitch would never have voluntarily returned to the lower class because he wanted to be a better person since his encounter in the graveyard with Pip. Different situations in the two worlds also make it impossible for Pip and Magwitch to be a permanent member of either world..
