Wemmick's Two Different Sides

Wemmick-a man who has to be very serious all the time at work even though he really wishes that he could open up and just be himself. This man, Wemmick, see’s people every day who loose their cases and sometimes even walk away with some of their most important valuables to them because that was the only way that they could pay Wemmick and Jaggers. Wemmick is a very serious man at work because he is afraid that if he would to just be himself he could lose his job or have something bad happen; he knows that Jaggers is a man of work and really nothing else. Wemmick also knows that Jaggers would not agree or put up with someone who was not serious about his work, that is the reason Wemmick is always serious when he is talking and doing work.

But, that is not the real Wemmick. When he gets to his home which he calls a castle--because most likely is proud of what he owns, he opens up to Pip to show his real self. He takes Pip through his house and during that time shows Pip that really he is a man of kindness and not all work. Wemmick even takes care of the Aged One and even nods to him in the halls, that really shows Pip that he is almost putting on an act at work, which would be his serious side, but really he is nothing like he looks like he is… if we had to describe Wemmick in two words they would be—kind and loving.

Dickens is really trying to get a point across here, and that would be that everybody can be different when they are not around certain people. That, what Dicken’s was symbolizing there showed what Wemmick really is.

Pip's Innocence...

Pip lived a life of innocence; he doesn't really know that thet people down by the river are bad and that you have to tell someone where you are going before you actually go. He lives in a house with his sister, Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married Joe Gargery, the blacksmith. He never met his other family members so his older sister decided that she was going to raise the poor boy. Once she finds out that Pip was missing she goes on what they say as a "ram-page", and when she found Pip back at home she starts regretting ever raising him, telling him that he could have been in the graveyard with the other people in his family if it wasn't for her.
Mrs. Joe Gargery is a women of strickness and not much kindness or love. It is almos like she sticks to a routine every day. She cooks for the family for every meal, does what she has to do during the day and then feed them when they get home. When dinner is ready every night they all sit down and ear it together. Pip doesn't have a horribel life, he is probably luckier than some other people may be in the city. Although Joe is nice to him but his sister isn't, he still gets a bed to sleep in every night and foot to eat when he is hungry. Maybe it is not a life that many of us would perfer to live but for him, it is a ok life that seems to work out just fine for him.
