Question About a Passage
In chapter 26 on page 218 Pip recieves a letter from Biddy stating that Joe will be visiting him. "I had beun to be always decorating the chambersin some quite unnecessary and innapropriate way or other, and very expensive those wrestles with Bernardproved to be." My question is: why is Pip decorating the room up for Joe?

Good question! He is not decorating the chamber for Joe, he is decorating it because he is bored and needs something to occupy his time with. Basically, he needs something to waste his multitude of money on. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good question! And that is a good idea Linaea, but I think he decorates the room because he is in a very non-fancy hotel and he wants to fancy it up. Pip wants to be a gentleman, he decorates the room so he feels more like one.
