Great Expectations, Chapter 14: samenvatting
Chapter 14 van 59 · 4 min om chapter te lezen
In Chapter 14, the narrator describes how his apprenticeship to Joe brings misery rather than the pride and independence he once expects from the forge. He credits Joe’s goodness with keeping him at work, while his fear of Estella’s contempt deepens his shame about his ordinary home and occupation.
Wat er gebeurt
- The narrator contrasts his former respect for home and the forge with his present shame about their plainness.
- He finds apprenticeship oppressive and compares his prospects to the low marshes under gathering darkness.
- He never complains to Joe and credits Joe’s faithfulness with preventing him from abandoning his work.
- While working at the forge, he imagines Estella watching him with contempt through the windows.
- Returning indoors for supper makes his home and meal seem even more humiliating.
