second stage

In the second stage of Great Expectations Pip arrives at London, which has been part of his dream of becoming a gentleman. But it isn't as great as he expected. "Ugly, crooked, narrow, and dirty..." The disapointment he feels is part of the result of his "long chain that has bound him" starting in chapter nine.

This part of the book helps represent and discontentment. After going to Miss Havisham and Estella's place for a while Estella's beauty and his love for her has created the trait of discontentment in Pip. When he goes to London it was not the answer ot all his problems anymore.
