Who is your favorite character?

Quote

"Pip, dear old chap, life is made of ever so many partings welded together, and as I may say, one man's a blacksmith, and one's a whitesmith, and one's a goldsmith, and one's a coppersmith. Diwisions among such must come, and must be met as they come." - Joe Gargery (page 223)

Who was the reason for Pip's success?

Quote

"Well! Joe is a dear good fellow-in fact, I think he is the dearest fellow that ever lived- but he is rather backward in some things. For instance, Biddy, in his learning and his manners." -Pip (page 149)

"Have you never considered that he may be proud?" -Biddy (page 149)

What is Mrs. Joe's first name?

Quote: Miss Havisham's Plan

"I though I overheard Miss Havisham answer-only it seemed so unlikely, 'Well? You can break his heart.'" -Miss Havisham (page 58)

Quote: Pip's ashamed of himself

"I had never thought of being ashamed of my hands before, but I began to consider them a very indifferent pair. Her contempt for me was so strong that it became infectious, and I caught it." -Pip (page 59)
