One of the many important concepts in the first two stages of Great Expectations is Pip trying to figure out who he is and where he belongs. He starts off wanting to be apprenticed to Joe and becoming a blacksmith. Then he meets Estella and starts to question himself, for his love for her and the want to impress her encourages him to become a gentleman. Miss Havisham pays for his apprenticeship which should have made him happy, if he was who he used to be. "'I am not at all happy as I am. I am disgusted with my calling and my life.'"(128) He then in the second stage gets what he wants and does become a gentleman, but finds himself missing the life he had. This picture shows Pip(the boy) looking at his choices of who he wants to be; who he already is, or something more(the two different images in the mirror).
