Shrnutí Great Expectations: Chapter 18

Co se stane

1. At the Three Jolly Bargemen, a stranger challenges Mr. Wopsle for declaring a prisoner guilty without hearing his defense.
2. The stranger accompanies Pip and Joe home, identifies himself as Jaggers, and announces Pip’s expectations of substantial property.
3. Pip accepts two conditions: he keeps his name and makes no inquiries about his benefactor’s identity.
4. Jaggers arranges education with Matthew Pocket, supplies twenty guineas for clothes, and fixes departure for a week away.
5. Joe refuses compensation and angrily resists Jaggers’s pressure, while Pip privately assumes Miss Havisham provides the money.
6. Pip resents familiar company and attention, yet ends the night lonely as Joe and Biddy quietly discuss him with affection.
