  8. Essay Question #3: Great Expectations Pip’s Character Development. • Thesis Ideas: Think about who he is at the beginning of the novel, and who he becomes by the end of Stage One. • Character Influences—Estella: • Makes Pip want to become a gentleman and educated. Also responsible for his increasing snobbery. • Discourages Pip from being “common.” Miss Havisham: -- Makes Pip feel badly about himself. --Tells Estella to “break their hearts and have no mercy.” --Pip’s gaining a fortune. He assumes that she is responsible and therefore intends for him to end up with Estella. His “Great Expectations”: • His money will enable him to look down on others.
