G. E. Scene Skits

The skits I would like to see are:
1) When the Convict first encounters Pip in the marshes and showing how scared Pip was.

2) When Joe and Orlick fight, and Mrs. Joe and Orlick smack talk.

3) And the best part, when Mrs. Havisham Catches on fire after talking with Pip about her poor life.

Question Two.

The one thing I do not get from my readings is why Ms. Havisham pretended to be Pips benefactor. Even though her own relatives thought she was the one making Pip a gentleman, she never said anything to prove otherwise. She might being doing it because it is somewhat amusing, but it does not seem like she would get anything out of it.

Molly?

Within this week's readings, one thing I didn't get is the importance of Molly.(Jaggers' Maidservant) Her wrists are shown to e cut on page 288, when Pip is dining at Jaggers' place. "I'll show you a wrist. Molly, let them see your wrist. 'Master,' she again murmured. 'Please!' 'The last wrist was much disfigured; deeply scarred and scarred across and across." Jaggers seems very abusive to Molly, though she does not seem like she would do any wrong.

My question is, Why would this part of the story be so significant, if not much is explained about it afterwards?

This picture is a road, which represents Pips future. As seen, there is either a storm rolling through, or the sun finally breaking between the clouds. The nasty storm is seen as a bad, dark and gloomy future, while the sun represents happiness, riches and good fortune. Behind the road is the past poor village life, and looking forward, is the future, which will end up either good or bad.
