connection

One Connection I found between Great Expectations and Metamorphosis was the examination of human nature and it's ability to change a person's perception of another within a small period of time. In Metamorphosis, Gregor previously is this cherished member of the family that the other members thrive off of. However, the second he changes into a bug, he is pushed away and is no longer loved and eventually is killed due to numerous amounts of abuse and malnourishment. Similar to how Pip avoids Joe and pushes him away in addition to other past connections once he has reached a new status in his high london society. He feels important so he lets go of those previously important to him. THis theme of changing relationships is ever present in both works.
