Magwitch

"' She lived and found powerful friends. She is living now. She is a lady and very beautiful. And I love her'" (Dickens, 465).

Interestingly enough, the girl whom Pip has been obsessed with during the greater part of this novel also came from nothing. She is the daughter of an old women named Magwitch, whom has no role in society. Although she had had the upper hand before, this new found knowledge will equal the playing field between the two characters.
