I thought this picture greatly represented Pip's life during the first two stages of the novel. During the beginning, Pip experienced his major troubles and hardships, having many dead relatives, being riby someone the very person he loved most dear and his shame of the position he was at socially. Along the way however, he becomes wealthy and changes not only financially but in his character. But what Pip doesn't at first realize, is that if he weren't the poor unfortunate kid he was, he never would have become rich. He may have never met that convict, and if he hadn't helped him let alone meet him, he probably would have not become so succsessful. ''So, I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me.'' (Chapter 38). Through good and bad times and life altering days, failure and success were both essential in making what Pip has become.
