In this novel it is described every step in the evolution of this orphan child- Pip, but sometimes I think that the behaviour of Pip was wrong. After Pip becomes rich and meets new people, he starts to treat Joe in a different way. Even more , he begins to be embarrased by Joe's behaviour.
My opinion is that Pip had to behave in the same way with Joe,like when he was not rich , because Pip was lucky to become rich without to do something for that . He must not forget who cared for him, in whose house he lived so many years. Even if his sister was very strict with him ,Joe was his best friend ,the most important person for him. Joe gave Pip good advice and made Pip to be happy in the worst days. So ,when Pip returns in his natal city, he did not visit Joe. Although Joe though at him and waited him more and more, Pip was ashamed to visit him ,because now his social status was superior to Joe's social status. But Pip did not have to forget that his sister and Pip kept the place of his parents for him .

About relationship between Pip and Estella,I can say that Pip had to become a wise man before to try to reach the heart of Estella.He had to continue his studies and after to try to conquer Estella's heart, not to have a life full of debts in London. Estella has ice heart because Mrs Havisham wanted that her adoptive daughter can not be hurt by men. Mrs Havisham taught Estella to be so bad and cold with somebody, that when she returns home , from London, she begins to be very cold , distant and indifference with her mother. By the fact that Estella breaks the heart of Pip , the desire of Mrs Havisham is fulfilled, that desire to avenge all men, because her groom left her exactly on her wedding day.

I support my colleague in what she said about Pip's attitude toward Joe, an attitude of superiority, of shame at Joe's meeting with Pip’s friends from high society, which has no place because Joe has always been with Pip, especially in the difficult moments of his orphan's life. Therefore, Pip did not have to forget where he went and the days when he also looked like Joe. Even more, he had to be proud of him because Joe is the type of man with rare virtues such as honesty, modesty and diligence. :-D
