Character	Important Quotes
Herbert Pocket	“We owed so much to Herbert's ever cheerful industry and readiness that I often wondered how I had conceived the old idea of his inaptitude, until I was one day enlightened by the reflection that perhaps the inaptitude had never been in him at all, but had been in me” Said BY PIP about Herbert and refers to how Pip wrongfully judged Herbert "Young Havisham's name was Arthur. Compeyson is the man who professed to be Miss Havisham's lover." Written in Herbert's note to Pip after hearing Magwtich’s life story
Pip Pirrip	“O Lord, be merciful to him, a sinner” Him as in Provis during his sentencing (sentenced to death but died before) “For now my repugnance to [Provis] had all melted away, and in the hunted wounded shackled creature who held my hand in his, I only saw a man who had meant to be my benefactor, and who had felt affectionately, gratefully, and generously towards me with great constancy through a series of years. I only saw in him a much better man than I had been to Joe.” Refers to how Pip avoided being associated with Provis due to his criminal reputation; however, after Provis had continuously shown loyalty, Pip decided he did not care about his reputation as long as he continued his relationship. “Among those few, there may be one who loves you even as dearly, though he has not loved you as long as I. Take him, and I can bear it better for your sake." Refers to how Miss Havisham made Estella marry Drummle, someone who does truly love her rather than someone who does just to accomplish her goal of breaking a man’s heart. Pip states how if he were to not marry Estella that she should marry someone who would at least truly love her just as much as he does. “Don't tell him, Joe, that I was thankless; don't tell him, Biddy, that I was ungenerous and unjust; only tell him that I honoured you both because you were both so good and true, and that, as your child, I said it would be natural to him to grow up a much better man than I did.” Refers to Pip feeling ashamed for his actions and asking Biddy and Joe to tell their child only about the good he has done I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first left the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her. Refers to Pip meeting Estella at Satis House; implies a rekindling of their relationship “the wonderful difference between the servile manner in which [Mr. Pumblechook] had offered his hand in my new prosperity, saying, "May I?" and the ostentatious clemency with which he had just now exhibited the same fat five fingers” Refers to how Mr. Pumblechook and other members showered Pip with kindness when it was rumored that he had “great expectations” however when Pip loses it all, no one cares for him. Mr. Pumblechook disregards Pip once more when realizing he did not become someone of a higher social class
Miss Havisham	something like “oh please forgive me” “But as she grew and promised to be very beautiful, I gradually did worse, and with my praises, and with my jewels, and with my teachings, and with this figure of myself always before her, a warning to back and point my lessons, I stole her heart away and put ice in its place" Refers to Miss Havisham feeling ashamed for “replacing” Estellas heart with ice due to her teachings “You made your own snares. I never made them.” Referring to Pip feeling bad that all her relatives hate him because she led them to believe she was Pip’s benefactress
Abel Magwitch	something like “I feel no pain” “So fur as I could find, there warn't a soul that see young Abel Magwitch, with us little on him as in him, but wot caught fright at him, and either drove him off, or took him up. I was took up, took up, took up, to that extent that I reg'larly grow'd up took up.” Reveals that Magwitch became a criminal as a consequence of his childhood and being manipulated others
Joe Gargery	“Then why go into subjects, old chap, which as betwixt two sech must be for ever onnecessary? There’s subjects enough as betwixt two sech, without onnecessary ones. Lord! To think of your poor sister and her Ranpages! And don’t you remember Tickler?” Said to Pip when he tries to explain Magwitch and who his real benefactor is
