The name Pip comes from when he was young, and he could not say his name. Pip then chose his name for one reason in particular. He changes his name because his father and mother are dead, and he lives with his sister and stepdad. Due to this, he feels as though he is alone in this world and proceeds to call himself Pip.
In your opinion, does the darkly humorous tone of the novel make fun of the serious hardships the poor in Victorian England experienced? Or, does the tone seem to be adult Pip’s coping mechanism for finding light in the darkness?
Explain your answer in 3–5 sentences, using examples from the text.
Your Answer:
Dickens wrote this novel on his own experiences of hardships and things that he saw. Therefore, yes, he does, in a way poke a little fun with the novel and his experience, but he also wants the audience to know that life back then was terrible. Therefore, this story portrays a little bit of both tones.
