Georgiana


"' Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly" (Dickens, 1).

Pip has imagined that his mother was a weak creature who was very unimportant. Dickens is showing that women in a Victorian society, especially those of a lower class, are subordinate to men. This helps the reader settle in the setting and understand how the characters expect each other to behave.
