The What

Pip told

Jaggers

what he knew about

Orlick

, and to Pip’s surprise,

Jaggers

quickly fires

Orlick

. While walking to the coach back to London, Pip encounters the tailor’s son,

Trabb’s

boy, who mocks and humiliates Pip in front of a large crowd. When he arrives at Barnard’s Inn, he tells Herbert that he adores Estella, and Herbert says he already knew. He tries to convince Pip that it won’t work out, but Pip continues to love Estella as strongly as ever. Pip finds out that Herbert also has a fiancé, Clara, who lives with her invalid father on the first floor.Slide4

The WhyPip’s motivation was Estella. Period.Slide5

The How

Jaggers

fires

Orlick

because of what Pip tells him

His snobby treatment of his old family and friends caused

Trabb's

boy to mock him out of jealousy Slide6

The MessageThe dominant theme of chapter 30 is treat people how you want to be treated because if Pip had been nicer to

Trabb’s

boy and his other friends and family he would have saved himself some humiliation.Slide7

Satire Dickens satirizes the upper class:

"So he went round the room and shook the curtains out, put the chairs in their places, tidied the books and so forth that were lying about, looked into the hall, peeped into the letter-box, shut the door, and came back to his chair by the fire: where he sat down, nursing his left leg in both arms" (264-265). 

He also satirizes Pip's love for Estella:

"'I know it, Herbert,' said I, with my head still turned away, 'but I can't help it.'  

   'You can't detach yourself?'

   'No. Impossible!' 

   'You can't try, Handel?'

   'No. Impossible!'" (264).Slide8

Figurative LanguageSimile:

“The disgrace attendant on his immediately afterwards taking to crowing and pursuing me across the bridge with crows,

as

from an exceedingly dejected fowl who had known me when I was a blacksmith, culminated the disgrace with which I left the town, and was, so to speak, ejected by it into the open country” (260).

Effect: It emphasizes how dejected and jealous

Trabb’s

boy feels towards Pip now that he is rich.

Hyperbole:

“[Herbert says,] ‘Have you any idea yet of Estella’s views on the adoration question?’

I shook my head gloomily. ‘Oh! She is thousands of miles away from me,’ said I” (262).

Effect: It emphasizes that Estella does not care about Pip nor his feelings.Slide9

The what.

Pip and Herbert go to the theatre to see Shakespeare's

Hamlet

 where Mr.

Wopsle

plays Hamlet. The play doesn't go very well. One of the actors has a terrible cough and can't remember his lines, Hamlet's mother had a chain attaching her chin to her tiara, and Mr.

Wopsle

 is squeamish about the skull he had to touch. The crowd is rough and loudly comments on everything, they even respond when Hamlet says, "To be, or not to be". Pip and Herbert try to support Mr.

Wopsle

and clap for him, but they soon find out that it's useless and spend the rest of the play laughing. After the play ends, Pip and Herbert try to leave the theatre before Mr.

Wopsle

leaves, but a man catches their attention before they leave and takes them to Mr.

Wopsle

, who now goes by Mr.

Waldengarver

, in his tiny dressing room.  Mr.

Wopsle

 asks them what they thought of the play and Pip just copies what Herbert says. They compliment Mr.

Wopsle

and invite him to dinner where he mostly spends his time talking about his success. The group gets to bed very late and Pip has a bad dream that he proposes to Clara, plays Hamlet in front of 20,000 people and forgets his lines, and Mrs. Havisham plays the role of Hamlet's mother.Slide12

The why

Pip doesn't want to associate himself with Mr.

Wopsle

because he is in a lower class and because of the embarrassing performance so he tries to sneak out.

Pip pities Mr.

Wopsle

, so he invites him to dinner.Slide13

The how

Pip and Herbert want to support Mr.

Wopsle

, but since the rest of the crowd is being so rude they stop trying.

Mr.

Wopsle

becomes more confident about his play and success when Pip and Herbert praise himSlide14

The Message

The dominant theme for chapter 31 is don't stop believing, especially when times get rough. Mr.

Wopsle

wasn't doing great, but he kept a positive mind set and kept striving towards his goal.Slide15

Satire

Pip is astonished at Mr.

Wopsle's

 blind ambition and belief in his success, but Pip has the same mind set with Estella and becoming a gentleman.

"...and he sat until two o'clock, reviewing his success and developing his plans. … he was to begin with reviving the Drama, and to end with crushing it; inasmuch as his decease would leave it utterly bereft and without a chance or hope” (248).Slide16

Figurative languageAllusion:

"Lastly, Ophelia was a prey to such slow musical madness, that..." (245).

" The joy attended Mr.

Wopsle

 through his struggle with Laertes..." (246).

Effect: These references to

Hamlet 

show how the play was meant to have so much potential, but it was performed too poorly.

Imagery:

" … and we all fell through a little dirty swing door into a sort of hot packing-case immediately behind it. … there was just room for us to look at him over one another's shoulders, by keeping the packing-case door , or lid open" (247).

Effect: This shows how Mr.

Wopsle's

 working conditions and space were really cheap and bad, which leads to the point of how he was not getting along very well.Slide17
