Skit Prep

the scenes in The Great Expectations that I think would be sweet will definitely be when the two convicts are fighting each other in the marshes, one trying to get away, and one trying to capture the other, it would be a easy skit to perform, but also very fun.
the second scene when pip gets home and immediately gets beaten by Mrs Joe, it would be really funny to see what groups would do when they are acting it out.
the final scene would of course be the fight between pip and the pale young gentleman as pip completely beats him up, it would really funny to watch and really fun to perform it as well

More Questions about Great Expectations

Wait, so there is a new character mentioned, and his name is Compeyson? And Compeyson is a convict just like Abel, and hes the one that was caught by Abel? or is he the one pip saw on the coach??? And he is the same person that broke Miss Havisham's heart? if so then why is he a convict and Havisham knows nothing about it? I am so confused.. why does Dickens have to make everything so confusing.

Great Expectations: Question

In this book there are SO many confusing parts that I have no clue what it's suppose to mean, but this quote of when Estella talked to Pip I couldn't figure out what Estella was trying to tell Pip "You must know," said Estella, condescending to me as a brilliant and beautiful woman, "might,that I have no heart- if that has anything to do with my memory."


no matter how I read that over and over I just don't seem to understand what Estella is trying to tell Pip. Is Estella trying to tell Pip that she has no emotion at all? or is she threatening Pip? or making fun of Pip like she usually does?

This block of clay represents Pip when he used to be plain and simple, but like the clay Pip is easily moldable, either into a masterpiece or a disaster and that all depends on who is the person reconfiguring him. In the past few chapters pip was molded by Miss Havisham into a masterpiece in her own mind, and using Estella as a tool to do so she made Pip ashamed of his own life, and family, and shaping Pip into wanting to become something she once was, only to destroy what she made in the end like a sculptor does to imperfections in their art.
