More Questions

One thing I noticed in this last reading is Pip easily has sympathy for the fact that Abel Magwitch was betrayed by Compeyson. Why does Pip decide that he actually cares for someone other than himself for once? This seems very out of context from where the story has been going so far. I think Pip might want to help Abel have revenge on Compeyson only to further Miss Havisham's opinion of him because he would be avenging Compeyson's betrayal of Miss Havisham as well.
Please help me with this one, tell me if you agree with me or if you have any other opinions to add.

Great Exp. Question

"Little Jane is the same. In her desire to be matrimonially established, you might suppose her to have passed her short existence in the perpetual contemplation of domestic bliss. Little Alick in a frock has already made arrangements for his union with a suitable young person at Kew. And, indeed, I think we are all engaged, except the baby."
Page 252

I really don't understand much about this quote at all. To my knowledge Jane and Alick are relations to Herbert , but I really don't know how or why this is supposed to fit in or add something to the book. I also don't really understand the reference to Kew. I have a feeling that is a town or a city but I'm not quite sure.
Please Help.

Photo Post (Poodles)

These two poodles represent the two sides of Pip that are shown during the novel. The dog to below represents his innocent side shown during the first part of the novel. This dog is much like the Pip in the sense that it's a character that is very down to earth, the type of personality we could relate to and sympathzise for. Although we may not sypathsize for this dog quite as much as we might for Pip because Pip is taken advantage of and this dog doesn't seem to be, it still gets this general idea of Pip across. The poodle above is Pip's character later in the book. This poodle appears to be very snobby and although this characterization of the poodle is all hyopthitical (and only based on looks) it would seem to be more self centered then the other poodle. The other reason this poodle above portrays the new Pip is because any wealth or high status that a poodle gains is completely dependent on thier owner. This is much like Pip because his wealth was given to him and he did hardly anything to earn it.
