Book Question #2
When Able Magwich is telling his story he taks about Arthur Compeysonand how mean and self-centered he is. The passage says he was once a convict too and Able says,"I had said to Compeyson that I'd smash his that face of his,..."(351) and also that Compeyson was on the marshes as well. That makes me wonder, is Arthur Compeyson the second convict that Pip meets on the marshes, and if so, how is he also Miss Havisham's fiance who left her at the alter?

Compeyson is the one Pip meets in the marshes when he is trying to bring food to Abel Magweitch. But, his name isn't Arthur. Arthur was the one who saw Miss Havisham in his dream and died. Also, Compeyson is the man that left Miss Havisham at the altar.
