During the Christmas dinner, no one noticed anything missing, though Pip still was very nervous and couldn't stop thinking of himself as a thief. So, when it was time for Mrs. Joe to bring out the meat pie, Pip started running. He didn't get far, for the police had stopped him at the door, though the only reason they were at Pip's house was because the police needed Joe to fix their handcuffs.
Now, I will discuss the main points that should be thought of while reading this assignment.
The first point is morality. Pip has true morality because he is being good to others, even though he knows there may be consequences that follow. He also shows responsibility for others. Aren't we all responsible for seeing if we could help others? Such as how Pip helped Magwich get food.A perfect example of false morality is Mrs. Joe. "Behind closed doors", she is an abusive, nasty, uncaring woman, though that changes when friends are around. She acts as if she is a sweet, gentle, and caring woman. This is false morality because she is actually cheating Pip, the people around her, and herself. This act is also known as dehumanizing.Another point I would like to make is how the Industrial Revolution had a corrupt society. In which, again, Mrs. Joe takes part in for her false morality.
Now, if you could think in Pip's point of view, how confused he must be with all these, "lies". Reality is a hard thing to grip for Pip, especially when he is "living" with false morality.In my opinion, I sometimes think we could get fact and fiction mixed up. By this, I mean we could get what is right and what is wrong confused. Just as how Mrs. Joe expresses it by showing two different personalities as different times towards different people. Mixing up reality with fantasy.
