For an individual to belong, they must fulfil their society’s expectations. Analysis of the book ‘Great Expectations’ composed by Charles Dickens reveals an aspect of family belonging, where Pip, the main character tries to live up to societies expectations of being a gentlemen. This can be seen where Magwitch tells Pip that his a gentleman, ‘Yes, Pip, dear boy, I’ve made a gentleman of you! It’s me wot has done it! I swore that time, sure as ever I earned a guinea, that guinea should go to you… his head so high that he could make a gentleman – and, Pip, you’re him! ’.

Predominately, in the novel ‘Great Expectations’ portrays to the responders that there is an aspect of disconnection in belonging, where Magwitch, the convict was captured after escaping and taken back to jail, conveying the idea that the individual experiences with the society being disconnected. This is evident in the direct speech ‘No one seemed surprised to see him, or interested in seeing him, or glad to see him, or sorry to see him, or spoke a word.. suggesting that he is isolated. The use of repetition in the words ‘him’ demonstrates a disconnection between Magwitch and the society, suggesting the idea that Magwitch is distinctive to the society in which leaves him marginalised. The use of third person in the quote emphasises on Magwitch’s personable nature, him being a ‘common’ to any other convicts. This has established the idea that a sense of belonging is disadvantaged due to the fact that Magwitch does not experience a fit or similarity with the society.
