1. In Great Expectations, Pip is the main character who lives with his unloving sister and her husband, Joe, because his parents are deceased. Mrs. Havisham is an older lady with lots of wealth. She find out about Pip when she talks to his uncle, Mr. Pumblechook, about having someone play with Estella, her adopted daughter. Mrs. Havisham is a man hater, therefore causing Estalla to be one as well. Estella is very bad and cruel to Pip. He , on the other hand, couldnt be more in love with her. Even though she treats him horribly, he is in love with her. Magwitch is an escaped convict. Pip meets him while he is at his parents' graves and is motivated by fear to bring him food and a file.
