Answer 2

$\huge\bold\red{AnswER:-}$

Abel Magwitch, like Pip, follows his own rags to riches story and has his own 'Great Expectations'. He has quite a dramatic change in personality between the earlier and later parts of the book. In the first part of the novel, Magwitch is an escaped convict who meets the young Pip while he is on the run. Pip supplies Magwitch with food and a file to help him in his escape. At this point in the story Magwitch is a frightening figure often compared to a hunted animal. Magwitch is recaptured and is transported to Australia so he disappears from the novel for quite a while.

He reappears (under the name of 'Provis') many years later when Pip has grown up and is living in London after coming into money from a mysterious benefactor. By this time Magwitch is a much older and somewhat kinder figure – though he is still tough and determined to achieve his goals. It eventually becomes clear that Magwitch:

• is the source of Pip's good fortune

• made the money as a sheep farmer while in Australia

• was involved in the plot to swindle Miss Havisham

• is Estella's father (Mr Jaggers' housekeeper, Molly, is her natural mother)

Magwitch also acts as one of the father figures to Pip (along with Joe Gargery and Mr Jaggers). Although he terrifies Pip when he is a boy, Magwitch grows to love Pip as his own son and tries to help him to become a gentleman later in life. Pip also comes to love and respect the older Magwitch.
