Pip, the protagonist of Great Expectations, becomes addicted to opium with the encouragement of Mr. Jaggers, his guardian. Jaggers tells Pip that opium is better than alcohol since it helps one drift away. Pip trusts Jaggers, and even though he has second thoughts about him, Jaggers proves to be more helpful than evil. While high on opium at a brothel, Pip sees a man he believes is Compeyson, a criminal from his past, who attacks him, mentioning something about Pip having something in his possession. Jaggers subsequently tells Pip that Compeyson and Magwitch were pals who stole people on the roads and discovered gold on one of their expeditions. Pip is confused about his connection to the gold, but there is more to be revealed.
