“It was ten o’clock at night before we ventured to creep in again, and then she asked Joe why he had not married a Negress slave at once? Joe offered no answer, poor fellow, but stood feeling his whiskers and looking dejectedly at me, as if he thought it really might have been a better speculation.”(pg234) Mrs. Joe is being extremely insecure and is putting her negative emotions onto those she cares about. But while doing so she pushes them away and makes them want to leave her even more. This is extremely important because it outlines how extremely fragile the relationship is between Mr. Joe, Mrs. Joe, and pip. And with Joe contemplating if he should leave, it might lead to him actually going on his own. And that would completely change the dynamic of the plot with pip having to now deal with a divorce and the new relationships he would have to form and adjust to.

 "I could hardly have imagined dear old Joe looking so unlike himself or so like some extraordinary bird, standing as he did, speechless, with his tuft of feathers ruffled, and his mouth opened as if he wanted a worm,"(ch 13). This quote is indicating how Joe felt and how he was helpless and agitated by ms havishams wording on words and questions. This leads us to believe he was very nervous and not very used to meeting people of prestige. He lost his cool and also couldn't answer to ms havishams directly. He kept using pip as a middle man to talk to ms havisham. It was very i unlike him and pip noticed that. It was an experience pip never went through and was awkard for them all - Aamir

“It was quite in vain for me to endeavour to make him sensible that he ought to speak to Miss Havisham. The more I made faces and gestures to him to do it, the more confidential, argumentative, and polite he persisted in being to me"(119).  Pip has already started knowing that he is lesser then them and that the "wealthy" treat the commoners differently, but this is the first time that Pip has been embarrassed of joe and the way he acts, he doesn't understand why joe can't talk to Mrs havisham because maybe joe feels like he's much lesser then mrs havisham and doesn't deserve or know how to talk to her. This most likely greatly affects pip because Pips been staying and getting to know these crazy people for long periods of time now and here's this man he looks up to not being able to carry a conversation. It's really the first time that pip is ashamed of joe.  -maddie

“I could hardly have imagined dear old Joe looking so unlike himself or so like some extraordinary bird, standing, as he did, speechless, with his tuft of feathers ruffled, and his mouth open as if he wanted a worm.” (274)

Pip exclaims that Joe’s actions when Ms. Havisham speaks to him are abnormal. He uses phrases such as “extraordinary bird,” “speechless,” “with his tuft of feathers ruffled.” Giving off the idea that he was nervous or didn’t know how to act, just as a bird would if they had seen a predator. This goes deeper into the idea that Joe was intimidated and possibly uncertain on how to feel about Ms. Havisham, she was described as an unsettling, and uneasy person to look at. Therefor this quote is showing Joe in vulnerable state of uncertainty of his feelings. Which I find important to the book, because Joe seems to always be easy going and childish and this quote shows that he can tense up and have the same feelings as others.

“My heart failed me when I saw him squaring at me with every demonstration of mechanical nicety, and eyeing my anatomy as if he were minutely choosing his bone. I never have been so surprised in my life as I was when I let out the first blow, and saw him lying on his back, looking up at me with a bloody nose and his face exceedingly foreshortened.

But, he was on his feet directly, and after sponging himself with a great show of dexterity, began squaring again. The second greatest surprise I have ever had in my life was seeing him on his back again, looking up at me out of a black eye.

His spirit inspired me with great respect. He seemed to have no strength, and he never once hit me hard, and he was always knocked down; but, he would be up again in a moment sponging himself or drinking out of the water bottle, with the greatest satisfaction in seconding himself according to form, and then came at me with an air and a show that made me believe he really was going to do for me at last. He got heavily bruised, for[…]”

“Good-bye, Pip!” said Miss Havisham. “Let them out, Estella.”

“Am I to come again, Miss Havisham?” I asked.

“No. Gargery is your master now. Gargery! One word!”
When Miss Havisham tells Pip that he is not going to come after today and that Gargery is now his master it’s her way of telling Pip that it’s time for him to move on from his work here to something he wants to do like becoming Joe’s apprentice.

“When we stood in the daylight alone again, Joe backed up against a wall, and said to me, “Astonishing!” And there he remained so long, saying “Astonishing” at intervals so often that I began to think his senses were never coming back. At length, he prolonged his remark into “Pip, I do assure you this is as-TON-ishing!” and so, by degrees, became conversational and able to walk away.”

This quote shows Joe is surprised at Pip’s ability to please Miss Havisham, considering she is seen as a more powerful women because she is in a higher class than Joe. He is astonished that Pip is able to do this and is happy for him. This makes this quote significant because you see Pip and Joe’s relationship growning. -Luke

“With which he took them out, and gave them, not to Miss Havisham, but to me. I am afraid I was ashamed of the dear good fellow—I know I was ashamed of him—when I saw that Estella stood at the back of Miss Havisham's chair, and that her eyes laughed mischievously” (246).
Dickens is now illustrating the first time that Pip is experiencing himself feel above Joe. He and Joe have a special bond, yet now that has changed and Pip is and will be in times going forward resentful of Joe’s commonness. The resent can transfer into blacksmithing, that Pip is supposed to apprentice in, and now make common life a bad thing for Pip. Mrs Havisham and his visits to her house have corrupted Pip’s relationship with common life.

“It was quite in vain for me to endeavour to make him sensible that he ought to speak to Miss Havisham. The more I made faces and gestures to him to do it, the more confidential, argumentative, and polite he persisted in being to me” (156).

When Pip tries to get Joe to have a real conversation with Miss Havisham, we see how his world has been divided. He used to be so admiring of Joe, and now he feels like he needs to teach him manners and the proper way to behave. This shows how Miss Havisham and the manor has influenced Pip’s outlook. Pip feels embarrassed of his former “common” life. His attempt at making Joe speak directly to Miss Havisham displays his desire to be less common and become more like a gentleman.

“I could hardly have imagined dear old Joe looking so unlike himself or so like some extraordinary bird, standing, as he did, speechless, with his tuft of feathers ruffled, and his mouth open as if he wanted a worm”(173). Pip is starting to get an idea or now starting to understand the differences of the people he deals with in his life and their large differences. His step brother/dad isn’t used to being around rich people so he doesn’t feel comfortable he behaves like he’s in the presence of great people and gets nervous about having to be around these people causing Pip to be a little embarrassed by how his family acted towards them. This is important because it shows what kind of situations Pip has to deal with.  -Alyssa

“Besides, that shrinking from having Miss Havisham and Estella discussed which had come upon me in the beginning grew much more potent as time went on.”

This quote is not only demonstrating the way both Estella and Miss. Havisham feel towards Pip but it is also showing the relationship that pip has with both of these two women that he apparently cares about their opinions as a result of how much time they are spending together. Showing how their opinions could effect him later on throughout the book.

“Miss Havisham, and about what she would do with me and for me, that I used to want—quite painfully—to burst into spiteful tears, fly at Pumblechook, and pummel him all over. In these dialogues, my sister spoke to me as if she were morally wrenching one of my teeth out at every reference; while Pumblechook himself, self-constituted my patron, would sit supervising me with a depreciatory eye, like the architect of my fortunes who thought himself engaged in a very unremunerative job”

Pip expresses that, “It was a trial to my feelings, on the next day but one, to see Joe arraying himself in his Sunday clothes to accompany me to Miss Havisham’s. However, as he thought his court-suit necessary to the occasion, it was not for me to tell him that he looked far better in his working dress; the rather, because I knew he made himself so dreadfully uncomfortable entirely on my account,” (11). Pip believes that Joe should just be himself instead of dressing up, especially on his behalf. This indicates that Pip is fond of the man Joe is and doesn’t believe why someone else may not like him. This thought slowly dwindles as the chapter progresses, and Pip begins to see how life may end up for him. He realizes that Joe is doing the best he can, and Pip doesn’t want Joe’s best to be what his own best looks like in the future. - Simran.

Pip realizes what he is feeling about Joe at Miss Havisham’s, “With which he took them out, and gave them, not to Miss Havisham, but to me. I am afraid I was ashamed of the dear good fellow—I know I was ashamed of him—when I saw that Estella stood at the back of Miss Havisham's chair, and that her eyes laughed mischievously“ (120). This markes the realization by Pip that Joe is extremely nervous and that Joe is embarrassing him right now. It shows Pips realization the Joe isn’t perfect and kind of brings Joe as a person in Pips eyes down to ground level seeing him nervous and being embarrassed like this.

“Pip,” returned Joe, cutting me short as if he were hurt, “which I meantersay that were not a question requiring a answer betwixt yourself and me, and which you know the answer to be full well No. You know it to be No, Pip, and wherefore should I say it?” (111). This is showing how nervous Joe is and neither Pip or Joe are used to being around wealthy people and don’t know how to act. Pip still doesn’t fully understand what his relationship with Miss Havisham and Estella should be.

“She asked me and Joe whether we supposed she was door-mats under our feet, and how we dared to use her so, and what company we graciously thought she was fit for?”   This shows that Mrs. J is jealous and highly upset at the fact that Joe and Pip get to go and she cannot.  This makes Mrs. J used and saddened by her lack of importance compared to Joe and Pip, which she deems herself higher than.

“I could hardly have imagined dear old Joe looking so unlike himself or so like some extraordinary bird, standing as he did, speechless, with his tuft of feathers ruffled, and his mouth opened as if he wanted a worm (173)”.

This shows that Joe is changing his personality which is an important role in the book and changes the perception between not just Joe and Pip but Joe and everyone else.

“Now you see, Joseph and wife,” said Mr. Pumblechook, as he took me by the arm above the elbow, “I am one of them that always go right through with what they’ve begun. This boy must be bound out of hand. That’s my way. Bound out of hand.”

This shows the ongoing problem of Pip not being treated fairly. He earned money from Miss Havisham, which Mr. Pumblechook just took from him. Pip’s sister lets Mr. Pumblechook walk all over Pip and Pip cannot do anything about it.

“As we began to be more used to one another, Miss Havisham talked more to me, and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed to Joe, I believed; and I enlarged upon my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything, in the hope that she might offer some help towards that desirable end. But she did not; on the contrary, she seemed to prefer my being ignorant. Neither did she ever give me any money or anything but my daily dinner—nor even stipulate that I should be paid for my services.” (230 on iPad) Pip has been going to Miss Havisham’s for enough time where he realizes that he is not gaining anything from helping Miss Havisham. He realizes that he is not getting paid or provided with any resources to further his life.

Pip was already showing signs of how he feels lesser than Estella, even having a breakdown in an earlier chapter and stressing to Joe how he wants to me common. Adding on to that he is now feeling embarrassed by Joe which is not helping him.

Pip reflects, "Finally, I remember that when I got into my little bedroom I was truly wretched, and had a strong conviction on me that I should never lie Joe's trade.  I had liked it once, but once was not now" (102).
Pip already strongly feels that he will dislike the blacksmith trade.  Through his experiences at Miss Havisham's, he has been introduced to people who have great wealth and education.  This has altered his perception of the world so that he now views Joe and his profession with disdain and embarrassment.
