Chapter 11
(Start at the top of page 53 and go through the top of page 54). Pay attention to Joe and Pip. What do you notice about each character’s interaction in this scene? How does it characterize them? Discuss.

(p 55) (second paragraph from the bottom) “But I am glad to know that I never breathed a murmur to Joe…” How does Pip regard Joe in this scene? How does Pip regard himself?
