The Theme
Good actions are rewarded and bad actions are
punished in life.
Motifs
1. Tool- People are used as tools.
2. Star- People follow things in their
lives like stars.
3. Prison- There are more types of prisons
in life then the ones in jail. People can
create prisons for themselves through
pride or blindness etc.

Pip is rewarded by
remaining with his love,
Estella, like he always
wanted.
“I saw no shadow of another parting from
her”
– Pip

•Estella is rewarded in the end.
•She is not the type of character
that would be expected to be
rewarded in the beginning, but
she does suffer in her marriage to
Drummel and changes because of
it.
•Her reward is to never be parted
from Pip.

Miss Havisham
“On this day of
the year, long
before you were
born, this heap
of decay, was
brought here. It
and I have
worn away
together. The
mice have
gnawed at it,
and sharper
teeth than teeth
of mice have
gnawed at
me.”

mine”

spend”

disadvantage? And warn't it me as had

up hill and down dale in Bridewells and

now and then into his white pockethandkercher - ah! and wi' verses in his
speech, too - and warn't it me as could only
say, 'Gentlemen, this man at my side is a
most precious rascal'? And when the
