    a) Character of Jaggers (Great Expectations )

    Mr Jaggers plays a vital role in the novel Great Expectations. Pip encounters him
    on the stairs of Satis House. Jaggers is described by Pip as “A burley man of
    exceedingly dark complexion.” He got the charge of Pip‘s finances and his training
    to become a gentleman. He was hard working, self-made man in his own way.
    Seeing the horrors of prison and abuse of children by the legal system he takes in
    Molly and brings her daughter Estella to Mr. Havisham’s house. An interesting
    detail about him is that he always had a smell of soap. That is because he washed
    his hands obsessively as a psychological mechanism to keep the criminal taint
    from corrupting him. In the novel Mr. Jaggers holds all the plot. He was a lawyer
    for both Miss Havisham and Magwitch. He reveals the identity of Estella thereby
    emancipating the readers from suspense.

    b) Pip’s description of miss Havisham on his first visit to Satis house

    Pip was to send to Miss Havisham’s house for playing with Estella On his first visit
    to Satis house Pip found Miss Havisham to be a peculiar woman. Sitting in a
    candlelit room. Sher was waiting by her mirror dressed in her faded wedding
    clothe. She had a skeletal physic. In her room a number of clocks showed a fixed
    time that was twenty minutes to nine. All the clocks were stopped to remind her
    the moment when she was rejected by her lover and left unmarried. She was rude
    and had a sadist view of life. She ordered Pip to play but Pip was nervous at the
    newness and grandeur of the house. The spinster was rude and wanted Pip in her
    own way. Her only intention was to tease him by using Estella, a charming girl.
