Pip's Desire to be a Gentleman

Great expectation - Why is Pip wanting to be a gentleman and winning the love for Estella? In the book "Great Expectations Pip" people are anxious that they want to become gentlemen. In the era when the book was published, in the 1800s gentlemen were rich and well-informed people who had many people in important places. They are poor people 's jealousy as the gentlemen look down on them and believe they will be better. In this book, I believe that Charles Dickens changed his Pip to a gentleman as this is the same as his life.

Pip has an ideal desire to become a gentleman, to improve his life and to impress the beautiful girl esther. I fell in love with her because of her attractive appearance. He proved this feature repeatedly. For example, he said to Biddy "I am not happy ... I am tired of my phone and life" and "I want to be a gentleman". When he tried to educate himself, becoming "unusual", he also showed his idealism and made Biddy give me all her knowledge ... in my opinion , It takes time to change. It is not common ... but I decided to try it. He further made him feel uncomfortable, but he continued to show Estella further, demonstrating this function. Pain ... I can not believe it, I do not want it; But I disagree with trust and continue to object to hope. "

Both Pip and Hamlet have human defects and weaknesses. However, the weakness of Pip is more voluntary. He wants to become a "gentleman". He felt this is the way to his happiness to escape from his humble birth. Great expectations were set in the early England Victorian era and there was a big gap between social classes. Pip wants to be respected like other gentlemen of the upper class. Therefore, he adapted to the strict rules and "expectations" of British Victorian rule. Pip's ambitions began to rule him and gave him up for Joe, Bidi and counterfeiting. I felt that being a gentleman would satisfy him. This desire is somewhat related to his obsession with Estela. Estella made Pip feel inferior as a member of a higher social class. It will not be long before that time that he will feel that she deserves her love. For people who are not responsible outside, it is controversial!
