Pips an orphan so he imagines family because he didn't have his own. Has a very strong sense of being unwanted.
Believes that family and marriage isn't enough for him but also isn't sure of himself.
Fills fatherless void by adopting make characters as father figures and mirroring them.
Magwitch- meets at church and is a prisoner. Acts like an animal and seems to be a selfish brutality about him. A potential for violence. Represents a fear of abandonment for Pip but pip also sees a version of himself
Havesham- witch like figure. Seems like a fairy god mother to Pip but is a symbol of horrible decay. Her house is stuck in a moment of time, hasn't touched anything since she was left at alter
Begger your neighbor.
Astella is Ms. Haveshams revenge. Pip falls in love with Astella.
Characters remind pip of his own inadequacy.
