Pip was sent to London and taught how to be a gentleman to get the expectations given to him. He loved a girl called Estella. Estella was from a rich family, so he tried his best to behave and be well mannered as the sponsor who sent him to London and wanted him to get educated will only leave him his inheritance. Pip was a naive boy and he worked hard to get Estella's love more than trying to get the money. He met Herbert who was a friend and a teacher at the same time. He was very helpful and Pip liked hanging out with him. When Joe wanted to come and visit Pip, Pip was unpleasant about it as he wasn't a well mannered man. By looking at this, we can conclude that he changed and started to be disdainful of people who were not in high class even when he was one before.
Herbert told Pip to think about loving Estella one more time as Pip was going to be unhappy because of the difference between them. Estella was well educated and there was barely any hope for him. But Pip couldn't stop liking her. Estella had so many admirers and Pip would get jealous of them right away.
He found out that the one who was sponsoring him and was willing to give him inheritance was the man who Pip helped before, the criminal. He was very shocked about it and he was disgusted of him. Why would he be disgusted? I know he's a criminal but if it wasn't that man, Pip wouldn't be having this gentleman-like life and wouldn't have a chance to experience all these. But at the same time, not losing his kind character, he also helped him hide and didn't want him to be arrested and hanged. The prisoner's name was Magwitch and he wasn't the actual criminal, but was blamed for it because his friend betrayed him.
