The second stage of Great Expectations was definietly slow to start. The main thing I am going to focus on is Pip's arrival to London. After Pip had been informed that he had come into a fortune he was looking forward to his journey to London. When Pip got there he was very disappointed to learn that it was really crowded, dismal, and dirty. The only good thing to come out of it so far was that he was reaquainted with the "pale young gentleman". Overall, the book and Pip have taken a turn for the rest.
Pip arriving in London relates to the theme of him becoming a gentleman. Growing up all Pip wanted was to be of a higher class or more respected. Now that Pip has come into a fortune he will hopefully soon realize that just because he's becoming a "gentleman" doesn't make him a better person. Pip betrayed a lot of people to get a title that might not bring him the happiness he hopes for.
