I feel that this photo accurately represents Great Expectations. Each and every character says one thing, and does another. Although actions speak louder than words, they are usually only a shadow masked by a false exterior. Miss Havisham leads Pip to believe she is his benefactor. Compeyson acts like a smooth gentleman; when in actuality he is a mischievous, evil conman. Pip grows ashamed of Joe, someone who truly loves him. Betrayal is a common motif in Great Expectations, and this picture depicts it perfectly.
