Great Expectations: The First Stage

In the quote, Pip is refering to his first visit with Miss Havisham. She shows him the finery and Estalla refuses to play with hhim "because he is commen". This permently changes him because after his experiance among Estella and Mrss Havisham, he starts to see himself as commen and residing in a commen society. He becomes ashamed of his home, his sister and Joe and doesn't want Estella to see him there under any curcumstances. Also, when he starts apprenticing Joe in the forage, he downcast and reluctent and only stays at the forage because he doesn't want to hurt Joe. Suddenly Pip doesn't want to live the dreams he had dreamed before his visit.

A similar experience I had was in 2004. I was eight years old and my family and I lived in Spokane. I was raised in a christion home, so every sunday we would go to church. One Sunday, the paster was telling us about how everyone needs Jesus. He said that we needed him because we are all sinners. Even if we live the best life and do all the good works in the world, we are still seperated from God because he can only be around prefection. However, he longed to be with us and to spend eternity with us. So God sent his one and only son to die for us to forgive us from our sins. After three days he rise his son up from the dead and conqured death once and for all. He showed that he was supreme, and that is when I gave my life to Christ. That moment changed my life forever. Now I was living for a whole new mission: to endwell Christ on this life and I could not go back to my old ways. Of corse, I am only human and I often make mistakes and don't often endwell Christ even though that is my goal and my disire.

My first point is about how they are genuinely in love and I wrote on how they are defing the culture by really being in love and how they love each other over all the thousands of poeple in the world, let alone in London.

The I wrote about how their relatioinship was based on high expectations because it was a better topic to write on than the nieveness. I wrote on how it is not very likely that before she knew about him that there is not very likely that someone was even named Ernest or that he would be a likable person.

That Gwendolyn could fall in love with an Ernest is unlikely plus it is based on lies. Ernest doesn't even exist in the begining of the play. Jack isn't willing to tell Gwendolyn the truth about his name and if they lived in this century, their relationship would be doomed because of lack of trust.

I will also add in how Jack and Gwendolyn are the only couple in the play who genuinely love each other and are open about it. Maybe Oscar Wilde put this relationship in the play to tell his readers what he thinks marrige should be about.
