1. Chapter presentation

2. Chapter 45
Of great expectations

3. The what
After Pip receives the mysterious note from Wemmick telling him not to go home, he finds the nearest motel called Hummums in Covent Garden to stay for the night.
In the morning he heads to Wemmick's castle in Walworth to see why he left that note.
Pip makes breakfast for the Aged and Wemmick tells him that Compeyson (2nd convict in marsh and man who left Miss Havisham at the altar to cheat her from her money) is in town and is looking for either Pip or Magwitch knowing that where one is the other is close by.(He knows this from Jagger's office)
At Walworth Wemmick says, "Tom, Jack, or Richard"(393). instead of Magwitch.
Compeyson is dangerous and murderous so Pip needs to steer clear of Magwitch so neither of them get caught.
Pip finally falls asleep by the cozy fire after spending the day with the Aged.

4. The why
Pip is confused and worried about the note that said, "DON'T GO HOME"(Dickens, 387). so he heads to a dingy motel nearby. This makes Pip tired and stressed by not getting any sleep.
Pip asks Wemmick many questions about who was stalking him and what to do next.
Pip is so overwhelmmed that he eats some dinner with the Aged and falls asleep by the fire trying to rest up before his busy day ahead.

5. The how
Pip asks Wemmick many detailed questions about Compeyson's intentions and whereabouts and Mr. Wemmick answers them all wanting to make sure Pip stays safe.
Since Pip lives with Provis/ Magwitch, Herbert moved him to Clara's house so they can still communicate but they are each safe.
Wemmick warns Pip to not visit too often so it's not suspicious and to hold on to his "portable property."
Wemmick even breaks the division of his home self and work self to tell Pip about Compeyson which he overheard in Jagger's office.

6. Satire and Figurative Language
The theme
Satire and Figurative Language
Dickens uses symbolism by calling the bed at the motel a monster who is squeezing all the other furniture in the room- this means the room is extremely tiny.
"...I made quite a firework of the Aged's sausage..."(Dickens,391). This is a metaphor meaning Pip got distracted and the grease popped.
Dickens Satirizes the ghetto, beat-up motel by saying, "I had read the newspapers how a gentleman...had gone to bed, and had destroyed himself, and had been found in the morning weltering in blood. It came to my head that he must have occupied this very vault of mine" (Dickens, 389).
The theme of chapter 45 is always trust true friends because they only do things for your benefit.

7. Chapter 46
Of great expectations

8. The what In the morning Pip goes to Clara's house.
There he meets Clara's father who's a bedridden, obnoxious, rude drunk.
Pip finds Magwitch/Mr. Campbell.
Then, Herbert and Pip derive a plan to get Magwitch out of the town by rowboat.
Pip buys a rowboat.
He starts to use the rowboat little by little so that when he escapes with Magwitch it won't look so suspicious.
Pip thinks this is a good idea but it still very skeptical and paranoid.

9. The why
Pip knows that Compeyson is in town, so Herbert hid Magwitch at Clara's.
In the morning Pip heads to Clara's house, "That being the name I wanted, I knocked, and an elderly woman of a pleasant and thriving appearance responded. She was immediately deposed, however, by Herbert, who silently slid me into the parlour and shut the door" (Dickens, 397).
Pip buys a rowboat because of him and Herbert's plan to help Magwitch escape. "It was soon done, and the boat was brought round to the Temple stairs, and lay where I could reach her within a minute or two" (Dickens, 403).
Also, since Pip knows Compeyson is in town he has become more paranoid. 

10. The how
Magwitch now stays at Clara's house making Herbert the only connection/ communicator between Pip and Magwitch.
Compeyson being in town puts Magwitch in danger.
In order to keep Magwitch safe Herbert thinks of a plan that Pip likes, "I liked this scheme, and Provis was quite elated by it" (Dickens,401).

11. Satire and Figurative Language
Dickens uses imagery to show Pip's surroundings, "...what rusty anchors blindly biting into the ground though for years off duty..." (Dickens, 396).
Irony is shown when Clara's father drinks rum constantly even though it makes his gout worse, " … "and you may suppose how mild it makes his gout." (Dickens, 397).
Dickens satirizes Pip's un-upper-class ways by how he's helping Magwitch escape, "We agreed that it should be carried into execution..." (Dickens, 401).
The theme
The theme of chapter 46 is shown through a quote by anonymous, " It is during the worst times of your life that you will get to see the true colors of the people who say they care for you" This is because Pip never gave up on Magwitch and founds many ways to help hide and be safe.
