This week began the second stage of the Importance of Being Earnest. Although this section has been very slow, there is a lot of character, and motif building that I think will help increase the plot later in the story. The biggest change in this stage is Pip's move to London. He is now staying with Herbert who he used to know as the pale young gentleman and is learning manners. Pip is also receiving money from the unknown person. This leads to a big change in Pip, even from when he first entered London till now he has found many uses for his money that can be just given to him with a snap of the fingers. I think Pip is becoming a very annoying character now, and is much more boring to read about.
The move to London I think incorporates many motifs. The most significant being becoming a gentleman, and mystery. Pip's character is changing into a gentleman. This, what was a few years ago to him only fantasy, is now a full blown reality with all the added luxury that he could never dream of. Yet, this leads the reader to really ponder the mystery of "who is actually giving Pip these things?", and "when will they reveal themselves?" I am looking forward to having these questions answered, and for the plot to pick up a bit. :)
