Discussion on Wemmick

As Pip has gone to work with Wemmick and has gone to his house, he discovers that this man-- who is very serious, cruel, and efficient at work, and loving, giddy with joy, and care-free at home-- has two very different sides, and even witnesses the transformation from Wemmick's work side to and his kinder side at home. When Pip goes over to Wemmick's house after work, Wemmick turns from a serious man, to a loving man as they got closer to home; once they arrived at Wemmick's house, which he calls a castle, Wemmick is a full-on loving man. He gives Pip a tour of his house, showing pride and happiness at every corner of his property; Wemmick loves is flag pole-- and the fact that he puts the flag on it at a certain time each day--and his draw-bridge that covers the small hole in front of his house, and the gothic windows. On their way to work, every step that the two took, Wemmick's face hardened, and even seemed to have cracks in it. This transformation, that Pip just witnessed, proved that this man has two total different sides; it almost seems as if Wemmick is afraid to be affectionate towards his friends in front of Jaggers, as if he is intimidated by him.
