However after Magwitch explains that he was treated unfairly by Compeyson and that he does not truly deserve to be labeled as a convict, Pip starts to become closer to him. Towards the end of the novel Pip becomes so close to Magwitch that his safety is one of his top priorities. Pip displays continuous support to Magwitch and is always making sure he is safe in hiding. When planning Magwitch’s escape Pip shows sadness and expresses that, “Looking back at him, I thought of the first night of his return when our positions were reversed, and when I little supposed my heart could ever be as heavy and anxious at parting from him as it was now” (402).

For George, it takes the death of his best friend for him to realize that he will never achieve his American Dream.
