Discussion on Pip's Home Life

At home, Pip's life is very difficult; it seems as though his sister-- someone who should acre deeply for you-- hates him, hates her husband, and hates her life. Mrs. Joe and her husband aren't intelligent, and don't seem to have a lot of common sense. When Pip disappears for a while, when he was in the churchyard, his sister goes looking for him with the Tickler-- an abusive device. Of a child disappeared like that today, their parents would go looking for them, be worried, and definitely wouldn't carry around a torture stick. Anytime that Pip does something wrong, his sister questions why she ever raised him and didn't leave him to die; she even said that if she could have the choice to, she would go back and leave him to die. What kind of family wishes that their sibling was dead, so they didn't have to work hard? Pip's home life is uncaring, abusive, and horrible.
