Essay on The Relationship Change Between Pip and Joe Gargery

He will not be on his own and will have the power of the other boys and the sense of trust that helps him along. He will feel as if he is in a different place because of how well he is working with the other boys. Later, when Joe finds out is seated in a boat with all familiar faces, he realizes that he feels at home. This sense of closure and family begins to allow Joe to trust his teammates and believe that they will be there for him while they

Joe-Boy is way too confident for his own good, on page seven, he obviously likes to tell Vinny what to do. He’s also parsimonious because he just won’t stop, at all! He is extremely pushy, if you don't want to do something he wants you to do, he won’t quit asking, as described on pages four through nine.

Joe feels the obsessin to have eyeone listen to him. He wants to become a “big voice”. He denies to listen to anyone else words no matter how legitimate it may be.

Because he arrived at the jail in this condition, things changed drastically for the father of four. Instead of being at the minimum security section of the jail, he was put in the maximum security area, according to their source. Apparently the prison officials could not believe that Joe would arrive drunk and that he “made a mockery of the court by immediately breaking the rules.”

Joe’s personality is the opposite of his wife’s, including the presence of a moral code which is in turn passed on to Pip. When Joe learned Pip had told everyone lies about what he saw at Miss Havisham’s home, instead of yelling at him he told him that he’d never get to be a gentleman by “going crooked” and simply advised him to never do so again. Pip was also influenced by listening to Joe talk about the good in people, including how he was married to Mrs. Joe because he saw the good in Pip as a baby, and this makes Pip “look up to Joe in his heart.” Even though Joe was Pip’s brother-in-law he was more like a father figure/friend who taught Pip almost all of his admirable

and too “common” for Pip, “I want to be right as you shall never see

So he stands up for himself, which shows he is strong. Joe-Boy is a bad friend, he was teasing Vinny about the dead boy in the text it says “ Are you going to let your mom control your life or what”? And” you going to jump down and touch the dead boy’s face beneath the rock”. That shows that he is getting out of Vinny’s comfort zone, which makes him a mean friend.

Joe has spent his life making many decisions most of which appear to have been good decisions resulting in his family enjoying a comfortable life. The audience admires him for this. Unfortunately, late one night Joe made a hurried decision, which he believed he could get away with. The reasons for his decision comes to light near the end of the play, in Act 2, when he tells Chris why he made that decision, "I'm a business man, a man is in business; a hundred and twenty cracked, you're out of business, you got a process, the process don't work you're out of business; you don't know how to operate, your stuff is no good; they close you up, they tear up your contract what the hell's it to them? You lay forty years into a business and they knock you out in five minutes, what

Pip is informed that he is going to London to begin his gentlemanly education and this only serves to feed into his new obsession. The first to see this is wholesome and virtuous Joe. Joe was a caring and compassionate man and stays true to his character throughout the novel. It is

Prosperous or impoverish, given Joe's humane mind and good nature, he is willing- under any circumstances- to help those in need.  Another example of a humane deed committed by Joe is as follows on page 74, chapter 9 when Joe lectures Pip about deceit after he confides in Joe about the lies he told to his family about Miss Havisham's: "`There's one thing you may be sure of, Pip,' said Joe, after some rumination, `namely, that lies is lies. Howsever they come, they didn't ought to come, and they come from the father of lies, and work round to the same. Don't you tell no more of 'em, Pip. That ain't the way to get out of being common, old chap.'" This illustrates that Joe is not only Pip's friend, but more like a father figure in Pip's life; Pip feels comfortable confiding in him, and is open to listen to Joe about what is right and what is wrong. Without Joe, Pip would be lost; he would not have anyone to guide him, tell him what is right and wrong, constantly remind him what is important in life, or to occasionally knock some sense into him. He stands out as a loving figure in Pip's life. Joe and Pip share a relationship based on love and trust, easily likened to the relationship between father and son, or brothers. Without Joe, Pip would not be the same character or share any of the characteristics that he does now; he would be a despondent, ignorant, perplexed orphan.
