DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE BOOK GREAT EXPECTATIONS???

Question

I need to know if Mr. Jaggers and Biddy are important characters in the book. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Answer 1

Mr. Jaggers is.

Answer 2

Yes, they are very important.

Jaggers is the powerful, foreboding lawyer hired by Magwitch to supervise Pip's elevation to the upper class. As one of the most important criminal lawyers in London, Jaggers is privy to some dirty business; he consorts with vicious criminals, and even they are terrified of him. But there is more to Jaggers than his impenetrable exterior. He often seems to care for Pip, and before the novel begins he helps Miss Havisham to adopt the orphaned Estella. Jaggers smells strongly of soap: he washes his hands obsessively as a psychological mech-anism to keep the criminal taint from corrupting him.

Biddy is a simple, kindhearted country girl, Biddy first befriends Pip when they attend school together. After Mrs. Joe is attacked and becomes an invalid, Biddy moves into Pip's home to care for her. Throughout most of the novel, Biddy represents the opposite of Estella; she is plain, kind, moral, and of Pip's own social class. Joe marries her in the end of the novel, right before Pip was to propose to her.
