... In this paper I will discuss every ‘scary mother, frightening father, and dysfunctional family, In ‘Great Expectations’.
Mothers are mentioned from the start till the end of the novel. ...
We are introduced to the last scary Mother; Mrs Pocket in the process of Pip becoming a gentleman. Mrs Pocket is the worst out of all the mothers because she cares only about herself and her status in society. ... This could be because both Estella and Mrs Pocket were taken away from their fathers when they were young. ... Therefore Mrs Pocket is a scary mother because of her lack of discipline for herself and her children, proving my hypothesis: the only good mother is a dead one. ...
Through analyzing all the Scary Mothers, Frightening Fathers, Dysfunctional Families in the novel, I conclude that Pip’s most suitable parents are Joe and Miss Havisham, who are ironically total opposites of each other and are of no blood relation. ... Throughout the novel, Dickens makes this point through direct contrast between appearances and reality, through characterization and imagery, to illustrate the characters I have analyzed ‘Great Expectation’s’ Scary Mothers, Frightening Fathers, and Dysfunctional Families.
