Despite Pip's best efforts-Magwitch is once more caught, and Pip can no longer live as a young gentleman.

Estella marries a country bumpkin with money (even though there is no love in the relationship, and he will treat her with cruelty). In the meantime, Pip helps Miss Haversham comes to terms with the loss of her husband (she is caught up in a fire and eventually dies). Now, Magwitch is back in London, and Pip helps him to escape once again. But then, Magwitch barges into his room, revealing that he is a mysterious benefactor (he escaped from prison and went to Australia, where he made a fortune). He comes to believe that it was Miss Haversham who is providing him with the money-to prepare him for marrying Estella. Pip lives a young swell's life-enjoying his youth. Pip, despite the girl's cold treatment of him, falls in love with her and desperately wants to be a man of means so that he might be worthy to marry her. Pip almost meets a young girl who, though she kisses him, treats him with contempt. This woman is the fabulous Miss Haversham who had been hurt terribly when she had been left at the altar and, though she is an old woman, still wears a tatty old wedding dress. Pip continues to grow up, and one day is taken by an uncle to play at a rich woman’s house. Upon threat of his life, Pip brings food and tools to Magwitch, until Magwitch is recaptured. Then, one day when he is crossing the moors near his house, Pip comes across the convict in hiding (Magwitch). When he is still a young boy, news arrives that a man has escaped from the local prison. Pip is a young orphan who lives with his sister and her husband ( Joe). Great Expectations offers a fascinating view of the differences between classes during the Victorian era, as well as a great sense of comedy and pathos. The novel centers around a poor young man by the name of Pip, who is given the chance to make himself a gentleman by a mysterious benefactor.
