Time had passed and Pip has hardly communicated with his friends back in his hometown. Instead of waiting for Pip to come to him, Joe takes it upon himself to visit Pip in London. When Pip receives notice of this Pip, he is not happy at all and immediately thinks about how he will be judged instead of being happy for seeing an old friend who would never judge Pip. It seems Pip is now a snobby person who cares more about his social standing more than his family. Money truly does corrupt people and I believe that this is the case with Pip because he is totally oblivious to his former life. Because of this, the confrontation with him and Joe was really awkward instead of acting like friends, they acted like new acquaintances. Pip has come so far since his days as a boy. He was much more likable as a poor kid than as a snobby rich gentleman.
