Well, Zoe Williams, I heard Herbert and have others read many expectations (Do you think you know the dickens? Then who is this character in Herbert?, 28 May). Herbert Pocket was a relative of Miss Havisham fighting with PIP and beat him.
If the PIs entered the money, he lived with a pocket family, trying to gain the behavior and knowledge of a gentleman. Pip and Herbert share in the rooms as young men, and so Herbert knew the secret of Magwitch. He helped PIP with failed escape.
Dickens ‘books’ of characters, but between people Herbert stands. Like a close friendship between young men where teenagers can be related.

Herbert pocket is not a minor attitude of many expectations. We first met him as a boy in one of PIP visits Miss Havisham, where Pip fights, and took advantage of Pestella, saying to PIP: “You may kiss me if you want to.” Later, if the PIs had got wealth and go to London, Herbert joined him and became his guide to his new life station: “It doesn’t usually eat peas.”
Anyone who thinks he is a minor character unreadable in the book correctly or in a single combination.

As a lifetime admirer in many expectations, I was shocked to see zoe williams just a little in the herbert pocket character. He is the “pale young Lord” fighting PIP near the beginning of the story. He later became the best friend in PIP and shared all his experiences across the book. Pip tells her about her unchanged love for the estella, and Herbert explained the reason for Miss Havisham’s obsession.
They will come together to the shock of Cunct Magwitch’s return from transportation and participate in desperate testing that he is safe. With all the things the pipe did with his inherited fate, the one he did not blame was to set the business Herbert.
I don’t know the words in the GCSE question about Herbert, but I have to think that he can understand PIP better than any other attitude. Her going to the life story of the PIP can be kind and kind, but finding understanding. He looks like a very good choice for students to write.
