    Now I will comment on Frame 4. This is where a man comes into the scene. This man makes us feel remorseful for him and terrified of him. I decided to add this as one of my scenes and this scene plays a major part in the first chapter in Great Expectations. This is where the suspense kicks in. Without this scene the first opening scenes of Great Expectations would be boring so this is why I added it. I want the viewer to have mixed emotions for the person. Be angry as he is picking on Pip and also how he looks. He looks like he’s had a rough time. In this scene a man jumps out on Pip and starts picking on him and shouting until get gets serious and the chapter ends on a cliff hanger. This view is panning from close to distant to close.…

    But for Joe, Pip says,“he was a mild, good-natured, sweet-tempered, easy-going, foolish, dear fellow, a sort of Hercules in strength, and also in weakness.”(9). The quote above shows shoes Joe’s positive impact on others, even though as a father figure he can sometimes be described as foolish, Joe still portrays compassion for others. It further proves that Joe cares for Pip in a very profound manner. It is evident that Joe sets a good example for Pip. After the dinner table incident, Joe and Pip start to build a strong father-son relationship. Joe begins to be more of an ally to Pip, and often enough we find Joe defending his brother in law. Pip says, “I loved Joe, perhaps for no better reason in those early days than because the dear fellow let me love him”(54). This quote is a clear example of how sympathetic Joe is, since he understands that Pip gets picked on by the often tyrannical Mrs. Joe. He is a rock Pip can stand…

    Joe's actions are those of a true gentleman. For example, Joe defends Mrs. Joe from Orlick even though he is scared of Orlick himself: "What could the wretched Joe do now...but stand up to his journeyman...so, without so much as pulling off their singed and burnt aprons, they went at one another, like two giants" (773). Joe is intimidated by Orlick and by Joe defending Mrs. Joe from Orlick shows that Joe has courageousness. Joe is a benevolent person by stepping up to Orlick to help Mrs. Joe. In addition, Joe pays off Pip's debts and Pip finds "a receipt for which they had been paid off" (899). Joe paying off Pip's debts shows he is a helpful and caring person. Joe is being considerate by helping Pip become…

    Joe has an extremely unusual love for reading, despite him not being able to read, he simply reads just to see "…a J-O, Joe." After Pip discovers this illiteracy he asks why and finds out that's its due to Joe's dad who unfortunately hit him when he was younger. The conversation in which these quotes are taken from bring Joe and Pips relationship to a much higher level, now they are much more like friends as Pip is starting to see Joe as an equal instead of someone to look up to, Pip has developed from Joe being his father figure to much more of a friend/equal now.…

    Joe Gargery, Pip’s brother in law, represented the average man of 19th century England who worked all day as a blacksmith and then went to the local tavern in the evenings to socialise and escape from family life. Joe provided a friendly, reliable face throughout Pip’s earlier years, who helped him through Mrs. Joe’s ire and who was also a fellow sufferer of Mrs. Joe. The fact that Mrs. Joe brought Pip up ‘by hand’ therefore puts her in a motherly position, Joe being her husband then puts him in a fatherly position. This structure of parenting being brought in from such a young age, Pip would have grown up looking up to Joe and finding a role model in him, this is proven by the fact that Pip aspired to be a blacksmith until introduced to other ways of life and social classes. Before Pip meets…

    Charles Dickens describes Pip, who serves as both the young protagonist of Great Expectations and the story's narrator looking back on his own story as an adult. With this two-level approach, Dickens leads the reader through young Pip's life with the directness and surprise of a first person narration while at the same time guiding with an almighty narrator who knows how it will all turn out.…
