The concept of great expectations has to do with having a
big hope that someone wants to have fulfilled. In this chapter, the local police are
getting out and after some escaped convicts. Their cause is great. With such a great
expanse of land and such a set of tricksters on the loose, it would be difficult to
locate them. The police also have great hope in the reality of finding these men. They
have an attitude of expectation for which they do not want to accept anything less than
their goal.
If you are asking what the chapter has to do
with the entire storyline, this chapter certainly reveals a particular convict who works
to get Pip out of terrible circumstances to bring him to the highest possible point. Had
the convict not confessed to stealing many items from the Gargery's home, Pip would have
suffered Mrs. Joe's wrath.
Pip too had hope that his
circumstance would work out in his favor. The benefit of this single episode in chapter
5 is that it does work. That doesn't necessarily mean it will continue to work for
him.
