“He calls the knaves Jacks, this boy!” said Estella with disdain, before our first game was out. “And what coarse hands he has! And what thick boots!”
– Charles Dickens
Great Expectations, Chapter 8. A spiteful Estella insults Pip by mocking his speech and appearance, highlighting the difference between the social classes. She repeatedly calls Pip “boy” to show her social superiority, even though she is just a young girl herself. Her jibes have a profound effect on Pip, as he later tries to rise above his class to impress the girl he becomes deeply infatuated with.
