Pip, an orphan, encounters an escaped convict from "summary" of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens - Delphi Classics (Illustrated) by Charles Dickens
On a cold winter evening, Pip, a young orphan, finds himself wandering through the desolate marshes near his home. The eerie landscape is shrouded in darkness, with only the dim glow of the moon illuminating his path. As he trudges through the muck and mire, a sudden noise startles him, causing his heart to race with fear. Out of the shadows emerges an escaped convict, a menacing figure clad in tattered rags and chains. His eyes gleam with a wild intensity, and his ragged breaths echo through the stillness of the night. Pip trembles in terror as the convict demands food and a file to break his chains, threatening him with violence if he does not comply. Despite his fear, Pip cannot bring himself to refuse the convict's desperate pleas. With a trembling hand, he offers him what little food he has and a file to free himself from his shackles. The convict, touched by Pip's kindness, promises to spare his life and disappears into the darkness, leaving Pip alone with his thoughts. As Pip watches the convict disappear into the night, he is left with a whirlwind of emotions. Fear, pity, and curiosity swirl within him, mingling with the chill of the night air. And though he knows he should feel relief at the convict's departure, a sense of unease lingers in the pit of his stomach, foreshadowing the tumultuous events that will soon unfold in his life.
