Synopsis:
Poverty can make a person or destroy a person.
It has always been Pip's dream to be a superior person, because that means that you can't bear to starve, you can get the respect of others, and you can get the love of Estina.
Life was dramatic, and Pip became a superior man overnight. He became a rich man, money made him, and then began to transform it: Pip despised his relatives, hated to associate with them, and even broke with them.
"If you can send him away with some money, I'd rather give him money." When the brother-in-law came to see Pip, Pip thought so. Entering middle age, he knew how humble his thinking was at that time, "I wanted to be a superior person, and as a result, I became a powerful person." Superior and power do not have the same meaning, and Pip gradually understands this truth. Pip was stunned when the fugitive who had given him his property stood in front of him, and being threatened by the fugitive to bring him bread every day was the most humiliating disgrace Pip wanted to forget in his life, and now he could never be a superior person, because the money came from a gift from a shameful fugitive. Money that may be contaminated with blood or filth will only make Pip more inferior, and it will never be possible to send him to a superior position.
Pip
Poverty is sometimes a spiritual asset that sustains Pip to start over after losing everything. Re-pursue the ideal of life, re-pursue love, even if you are not a superior person, you can also pursue happiness.
