    Pip hopes to keep Magwitch from going to jail. From the great expectations, we can know that Magwitch is a complicated man with rich experiences. Only discussing his sponsorship of pip, on the one hand, because pip once gave him bread, which may reflect his kindness; on the other hand, he didn't use the money to change his miserable situation, but wanted to cultivate a gentleman and show it to the world, which was his blind obedience to social atmosphere. So his sponsorship of pip is not necessarily gratitude. His behaviour was the epitome of the society at that time, and it was bound to be destroyed.
