Chapter 36 di 59 · 10 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 36, Pip turns twenty-one, receives five hundred pounds, and gains control of his spending, but Jaggers refuses to identify his benefactor or predict their appearance. Pip also seeks advice about helping a friend, and Wemmick distinguishes his harsh office judgment from the personal advice available at Walworth.
Cosa succede
- As their debts grow, Pip and Herbert expect Pip’s twenty-first birthday to bring information about his expectations.
- Jaggers gives Pip five hundred pounds and sets his annual allowance at that amount, payable in quarterly installments.

- Pip asks Wemmick about financing a friend’s business, but Wemmick strongly discourages the idea in his official capacity.
- Wemmick invites Pip to seek his private views at Walworth, and Jaggers joins Pip and Herbert for a dispiriting dinner.
