One scene I would like to see performed is when Pip is in the marshes looking and reading the tombstone of his parents and his siblings, then Magwitch startles him and asks him who he is and what he's doing. Then he tells him to go get him food and a file or else he will have his friend eat his liver for dinner if he did not return and called the cops.

Another one is when Pip meets Jaggers for the first time and they talk about Pip moving to London and becoming a gentleman and all that, and Pip going to the tailor's to get some nice clothes and him meeting Trabb's boy and being sized for a suit.

And the last scene I would like to see performed is when Orlick attacks Pip from behind and tells him that he attacked his sister and it was all Pip's fault and when Trabb's boy and Herbert come to the rescue and save Pip.

On page 348-349, chapter 42. When Magwitch is talking about his life story and what has happened to him. He gets to the part where he and Compeyson were fighting in the ditch after hes told who Compeyson is. Magwitch mentions his misstris, but then stops and goes on to tell Pip and Herbert about how he got convicted. He also mentions that Compeyson was better at everything and that he was a great speaker and well educated, but that was after he told about the fight. I am wondering if Magwitch was fighting Compeyson because of Magwitch's misstris like maybe they had an affair or something? Or was Magwitch fighting Compeyson because he just couldn't stand the fact that Compeyson was better than him and was more educated than him?

Great Expectation Question

In chapter 27, page 223, Joe is vistiting Pip and telling him what he has been doing in the time where Pip has been gone. Joe is telling Pip that Miss Havisham called him to go see her. As Joe is saying, "Next day, sir, ... having cleaned myself, I go and I see Miss A." Throughout the book we have only read that Miss Havisham is Miss Havisham not Miss A. or any other name. My question is, why does Joe refer to Miss Havisham as Miss A. when he is talking to Pip?

Pip has a lot of relationships with people. But only a few are really good and close relationships. Like that of him and Joe, they were more like best friends then family. When Pip moves to London he meets new people and gets along, but him and Mr. Wemmick have developed the strongest relationship in the beginning of the second stage. Pip and Mr. Jaggers relationship is mostly that of business and work matter. Even though Pip has many close connections so far in the book and most likely throughout the book, no relationship can beat that of Pip's and Joe's very close bond.
