1. Miss Havisham and Pips expectations.

At the beggining of the novel Pip is a boy living out in the countryside of Britain. He doesn't have many aspirations to be anybody, and is satisfied with being a black smith working with Joe. However, his ideas quickly change when he goes to Miss Havishams and meets Estella. When he first encounters her, Estella is very rude to him, and insults him by calling him a commoner. She also picks on his physical attributes such as his rough hands, and his common clothes. Her insults cause Pip to be more self aware of himself, and that brings about a sense in Pip that he needs to change. Instead of embracing his social class, Pip starts hating that he's a commoner, and aquires the desire to change and receive a better education. Later, when Pip is presented with an opportunity too achieve his desire of becoming a gentlemen, he doesn't hesitate to accept the offer. The Pip before Miss Havisham was a naive, and timid boy who would think twice about leaving his family behind, hower the current Pip, who is a much more ambitious individual, is glad to be leaving his family behind, and is even too embarrased to be seen with them, as shown in the scene where he wouldn't let Joe come with him to the carriage.
