Chapter 58

Pip returns home with a sense of hope and a "sense of leaving arrogance and untruthfulness further and further behind". 

Pip's homecoming, however, is not what he hoped it would be. 

1)  How is Pip treated by the townsfolk upon his return? 

2)  What do you think would have happened if Pip would have told Joe about his intentions regarding Biddy while they were in London?

3)  Here is the part where it becomes crystal clear that this is a Bildungsroman. In what ways has Pip become a man and a true gentleman?

  1. I'm glad that Joe and Biddy's marriage was a slap in the face to Pip honestly. I mean, what do you expect? You're gone for years and the two friends you trusted the most are now married! Though, Joe and Biddy are many years apart from each other (Biddy is close to Pips age afterall...) so that's a little, um, disturbing to say the least? But their both adults who can consent to such a thing, so who am I to judge?
