Pip's great expectations changed three times in his three stages of life. 1. When he was young, he wanted to become a blacksmith like his brother-in-law. 2. His meeting with Havisham changed his attitude towards life, and he admired his decent way of living like a gentleman. He met Estella and fell love with her, but he cannot marry her because of his inferior status and his expectations changed: raise his social status and to become a gentleman, get a better education and then marry Estella. 3. Pip realized the money and social status is not the most important thing in life. What is important is love and loyalty. Man's true value has nothing to do with his money and status. 1.Innocent; kind; generous 2.Snobbish; seeking for vanity and self-conceited and a little greedy 3.Full of love; loyal; a person with high morality Magwitch: He did all of these secretly in order to prevent little Pip from being embarrassed. After Pip became a real gentleman, Magwitch returned to England in secret only to see whether Pip had led a good life. What we can find from him is deep love for Pip. Shocked and moved,I learned two important things from the novel which would have great effect on my future: It is no use comparing with others blindly. We should always be grateful to our parents.
