One key quotation that supports the thesis that Pip realizes wealth is not connected to good character is when Pip finally sees through the shallow and materialistic nature of Miss Havisham and Estella, and understands that their wealth does not make them genuinely good people. This realization is evident in Pip's reflective comment, "I only saw in them a much better way in the light of their unworldliness than I had seen in Miss Havisham" (Chapter 39).
