Pip had so much trouble managing his money that, consequently, Herbert was dragged into debt because of his extravagant luxuries. They went out to eat at lavish restaurants, and spent their money at high- end stores. The sacrifices Magwitch made for him feel unworthy of his benevolence. Magwitch risked his freedom just to go to England and see him. He gave Pip the chance he never got as a child.
(page 446) By the end of the novel, Pip's narrow view on society has broadened through his own experiences. He now knows the dangers and benefits of both money and love, ridding himself of unattainable ideals for both. He learns that social standing is not the most important thing in the world, and that one's honor and integrity are not tied to one's rank. Originally thinking that it was, Pip hurt the people most important to him.
He also heavily influenced his attitude towards other people. He would never treat others with respect because that's how his dad would act. Pip is a high school student that is always smoking pot, cigarettes and drinking alcohol. He comes from a rough home life because his dad is aggressive towards everyone on the household especially Pip because he's constantly defying him. Pip has a younger brother named Mikey who is innocent yet he realizes how bad his father is.
Pip is the only one who helps Magwitch in his time of struggle, he gives him food to eat and Brandy to drink; most importantly Pip gives him a file to break free of the iron cuffs around his ankles, “But he was down on the rank wet grass, filing at his iron like a madman, and not minding me or minding his own leg, which had an old chafe on it, and was bloody…” (18). From this moment Magwitch feels in debt to Pip and believes that this young boy will be capable of many things, so Magwitch decides to help Pip into his coming of age as gentleman. Pip is unaware that his benefactor is infact the convict he found in the woods many years before. He becomes informed when one night the convict appears at his door to tell him, “Yes, Pip, dear boy, I’ve made a gentleman on you! It’s me
Pip first learns the effect of money after telling Mr. Trabb, the tailor, he has come into great fortune. When Pip goes to buy a suit, he notices how respectful Mr. Trabb is, “he opened his arms, and took the liberty of touching me on the outside of each elbow” (144). Next, Pumblechook has a new admiration for Pip as he transitions into the upper class. Pip describes that Pumblechook repeatedly wants to shake hands with him when he says, “we shook hands for the hundredth time at least, and he ordered a young carter out of my way…” (148). Pip’s final stop before he departs to his new life is Miss Havishams to say goodbye.
Also,Herbert never believes in the paw and he never thought it was going to work. This is like Matilda from “The Necklace” because Matilda never believes that she was going to get anywhere and she was always going to be “poor”. In the story on page fifty-one in paragraph fifty-nine Herbert says” “well I don't see the money and I bet I never shall. ”This shows how Herbert is sceptical.
Pip is becoming more and more ashamed of who he is and where he was brought up,as he is learning his new habits. Pip starts feeling ashamed when Wemmick starts showing him his rings. Next, when Joe comes to visit in London he was very out of place with all the fellow gentleman. Another time he felt ashamed was when him and Herbert joined the club. I believe Pip was ashamed when he saw Wemmicks rings because when he lived with his sister and Joe he couldn 't afford anything to that extent.
Initially, the lesson of how to have compassion portrays the idea of learning through suffering in the novel. One example that proves this is when Estella shows compassion towards Pip. She has been condescending towards Pip throughout the novel because she has been taught to break the hearts of all the male sex. After she had lived a miserable life with an abusive husband, she realizes how kind Pip has been to her even though she has been very insulting. Another good piece of evidence is when Magwitch shows benevolence for Pip.
Throughout Great Expectations Pip was repeatedly under others power while in a constant struggle to gain his own power. During his childhood Pip was under the control of his resentful sister. He later meets the power seeking Mrs. Havisham and the beautiful Estella who once again have power over Pip.

Overall, Pip’s resolve, rapacity, and lust is derived from him meeting Estella. The encounter corrupts Pip’s childish innocence and happiness, for he is consumed in love.
