Mrs. Joe analysis
From reading this quote about Mrs. Joe, I think that she is very abusive and controlling towards Joe and Pip. When Pip comes home from the cemetery, Mrs. Joe asks where he was. When Pip does not answer right away, she takes out the tickler and threatens Pip with hostility and harassment. I think that now Pip feels compelled to steal the bread, brandy, and butter from her. Now Pip has his hands tied because I think he will be beaten if he does not tell Mrs. Joe what he did. And if he does tell her, then she will beat him even harder. In my opinion, Mrs. Joe uses hostility because she is desperate to find some money and some happiness. Pip knows that if he intervenes in the quarrel that is described in the quote, he will be beaten. Also judging by the quote, she is quite saddened by the death of her and Pip's family. People may disagree with me, but this is what i felt after i read this quote.
