Pip's Home Life

Pip is an innocent boy who has suffered so much at a young age; his mother and father have all passed away and not only has he lost his parents, but his five brothers, his companions, and his friends. Now, the only family he has left is his older sister who is merely twenty years older than him, raising him with her dark haired husband, Joe. Pip’s home life is very unique when compared to any of ours. His brother in law, acts like a younger brother, always wanting to be in the fun with Pip, and his older sister, like a wise old mother with a bit of a temper. Mrs. Joe Gargery is constantly stating that Pip should be grateful that she would bring him up as a child and that if she didn’t he would have joined the rest of their family in the churchyard a long time ago. She is fierce and forceful, but only wants Pip to behave under her circumstances. When Pip has to steal bread in order to return to the marshes and feed the convict, he feels guilty and because of this you know he has been brought up learning and following good morals.
