自己是由逃犯马格韦契资助成为上等人时,狄更斯细腻的描写,对于皮普对浦俄洛斯感情由厌恶到

Who would reject great expectations falling from the sky and changing his fate to magnificent beauty? Pip is lucky to have such a gift. He jumps into the gentleman's circle from the inferior circle. As a result, it is inevitable that the value and life attitude change; his heart comes to
be eroded by wealth and superiority. Because of that, Pip abandons the life of past and his conscience, leaves Joe and pure love Biddy, and with great confidence, he begins to pursue his love.Along with Pip's change in the attitude towards life, the cruel truth begins to surface. When Pip learns that he has been funded to become a gentleman by the escaped convict Magwitch, it is interesting of Pip’s gradual emotional change from aversion to grateful about him, through Dickens’s detailed descriptions, The gratitude and pride were completely making he fell into a deep contradiction and pain. But after a further connection, he realizes that criminal with manic appearance, in order to repay his dinner and a hammer, uses the whole life to pay back, not for salvation. The humanity of Magwitch is no better than a gentleman.
那个外表狂躁无比的罪犯,一心一意要把皮普培养成上流社会的绅士,在与皮普相处后,变得愈发
温和与向善。
一个身处社会底层的罪犯,穿着简陋乃至破烂的衣衫、过着任人鱼肉的艰苦生活,但
是他们在言行中却闪现出高尚美好的品性。
表象永远具有欺骗性,皮普在最初也以为眼睛看到的那
一身得体的衣衫、周到的礼节以及优雅的言行就是绅士的象征。
但是经过人生的磨砺后,他终于懂
得用心而不是用眼来辨别,他终于明了,心灵的高贵远胜外表的漂亮,绅士的品性是内在散发的光华。
何为绅士?不是华丽的衣饰、雄伟的城堡;不是繁复的礼仪、做作的言行;不是奢靡的排场、傲慢的身姿;也不是高贵的出身、自诩高人一等的社会地位……真正的绅士,应该是拥有一颗高尚
的心灵,是富有同情心,是善良,是正直,是慷慨,是内心精神的富足……
