ultimate sacrifice

The "Great Expectations" at the beginning of the story is clear about Pip's upbringing: he lost both parents since childhood, and only his grumpy sister will raise him. The only one who protects Pip is his brother-in-law Joe. The sister and brother-in-law are the people at the bottom of the society, who have not seen anything in the world and have not received good education. At that time, Pip's way out is to Joe as an apprentice, and then as a blacksmith. Sometimes, there is always a moment in life, an inadvertent thing can rewrite the map of life. When Pip walked into Hao Wei Xiang's home for the first time, he saw a lot of things that he didn't have at home, and it seemed very flashy. Estella's appearance made the seed of love take root in Pip's young mind, and as time passed, the seed took root in the soil and eventually grew into a huge tree, becoming a love that Pip could not escape for the rest of his life. If the trajectory of Pip's life has changed, one important reason is Estella's arrogance and contempt for Pip, sarcastic and ridiculing Pip as an inferior person in words. The young Pip was originally a blank sheet of paper on which the righteous and kind-hearted Joe outlined a wonderful arc that could have led Pip to a happy life. However, Estella's words were like a dirty brush that destroyed the original achievement and painted the devil's face on the white paper. Pip came out of Hovisian home, hiding in the corner and cried out. He began to be tired of the hands of hard labor, tired of the worn-out shoes on his feet, and then despised himself, despised his own life, despised his future occupation of ironworking, and despised his own home. Dickens said: There is nothing more distressing than to despise your own home. Estella's contempt was like an embroidery needle that had been stuck in Pip's heart for a long time. With every beat of life, there was always a tingle of nerves reminding him of the fact that he was a lowly inferior, unworthy to be with Estella. Dazaiji said: Their few words of rebuke seemed to me like a bolt from the blue. Children have a world of their own, and that world is not as complicated as adults. For them, a toy or a word of encouragement can make the whole world come alive. And a thoughtless word from the sidelines can have a lasting impact on a young mind, or even change the trajectory of a life like Pip's. A child is a blank sheet of paper, and what we draw on it is what the child will become. Even when a child becomes an adult, there are things that cannot be changed, because the marks left on the paper have already penetrated the paper and grown into the child's present form. Everyone is a blank sheet of paper, only one chance to draw, miss it and there is no turning back. It's hard to agree with some of the reviews of Pip and his master. Pip's owner doesn't exactly see Pip as a tool for revenge, and Pip doesn't have the so-called charming eyes of the flowery world. It can be said that Pip's goodness and conscience have always existed, which is the fundamental reason for his many turning points in fate. One, is his sympathy for the golden master who was fleeing in wretchedness at the time, so that he was given the opportunity to refine himself. Secondly, it was his willingness to visit the heartbroken man abandoned by his groom, knowing full well that Miss Hovisia was taking advantage of him, which eventually won her trust as well as her support. The third is his friendship for Herbert, his own future is uncertain but also heartfelt support, using their own contacts to help Herbert have a better career, misguidedly also help their own future can have a way out. In the golden master waiting for the final execution has been accompanied by him, rather than his conscience was rediscovered, it is more like he reconciled with the previous for the so-called superior posture, the intricate relationship of various confusion. His conscience has always been there, only now for Pip, goodness and conscience are always much more real than vain titles and courtesies, so if he was selectively using his conscience before, he now prefers to treat people as he is. The curtain on Pip's far-flung future actually opens from the moment he actually accepts his golden master. This novel is indeed a satire of high society, the negative heart of people who cheat money, people who attach themselves to the elegant, flattering people, the arrogant people ...... see these things clearly, no longer easily for the superficial things and shake their own nature. That is the beginning of a far-reaching future in life.
