- adulthood: cynical loss of belief
-Pip imagines ideal adults because he didn't have parents
-strong sense of feeling unwanted
-believes he's above family and marriage, but then again not too sure of himself
-feels family void but allowing himself to be influenced by those he surrounds himself with
-Magwitch: bogey man, eats like a dog "animal", implied selfish brutality, potential for violence, represents Pip's potential to be alone again, Pip sees himself in Magwitch and the contact magnifies along with his fear
-Havasham: "have shame" sham: fraud; adopted Estella, woman of means, symbolizes horrible decay, house stuck in the moment she was left at the alter, sacrifices her life to one of memory and betrayal; she is essentially a monster
-"beggar your neighbor" Pip realizes Havasham hasn't nurtured Estella, she brought her up to plot revenge against men, but Pip fell in love with her even though he wasn't supposed to and was used in the revenge process, Pip likes that she adopted Estella but he lacks description when talking to other characters about them because of who they truly are
-fairy tale interpretation is interrupted as Havasham and Magwitch disappear but return by the end
-Pip sees characters of J as himself because it is interchangeable with the letter "I"
-Joe/Jagger's poets lie in their potential rather than their use
-Joe lives by feeling and how intuition tells him to
-Jaggers lives by the letter of the law, similarized by Estella, Molly, Havasham, and only trusts the facts
-"Pip" is a seed or something that hasn't become yet
