In the second stage of Great Expectations Pips character developes through his interactions and experiences in london. He meets many new poeple and sees many new things. He is exposed to a highly 'overrated' city and is dissapointed by the results. Some people he meets are: th whole pocket family and household, Mr. Jaggers's 4 clerks particuarily Wemmick, along with the aged man. The Pocket parents, Ma and Pa, are contrasting much like Joe and Mrs. Joe. Ma seems to have lost hold of reality where as Pa has more of a level head and can tell right from wrong.
These experiences develope Pip's character to become even more stuck up and un-lovable. His character has gone from an adorable innocent child to an exposed annoying young man. Pip is goggled over by Mr. Pocket much like he was by Mr. Pumblechook after discovering Pip's newly found wealth and 'gentlemanly' stature. Wemmick, however, is nice to Pip but does not have any alterior motives so this is probably good for Pip's character.
