1.) Applying Socrates’s Quote to Great Expectations
“One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.” —Socrates Some of the main characters in Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations seem to have followed the advice in the Socrates quote above, while others did not. Each of their decisions to injure or not led directly to consequences in their lives. In a well-developed essay, discuss how the quote from Socrates relates to the actions and later consequences in the lives of Pip, Joe, Mrs. Havisham, Mrs. Joe, Molly, and Magwitch. Use quotes and details from the book to support your discussion.
