Closing paragraph
Dickens, then,
(1)
has represented Pip’s moral journey
from honesty to dishonesty, lack of pride to snobbery,
human warmth to emotional coldness, and back
again.
(2)
The interesting aspect of Pip’s journey is
that we, as readers, cannot simply condemn him for
his aspirations. We can understand his need to
better himself, we can sympathise with his love for
the disdainful Estella and even with his
exasperation with Joe. In addition, Dickens makes
us understand why Pip would be so horror-struck at
the revelation that a convict was his benefactor. It is
because Pip seems all too human in his failings that
we can warm to the account of his moral journey
and rejoice in his moral regeneration.
