A tariff refers to a tax that is levied on an imported good and which makes the imported good to be more expensive than similar domestic goods. The disadvantages of tariff include the following:
1. Tariff discourages competition in the market, by favoring domestic goods, this leads to reduction in products' quality.
2. Tariff raises the prices of imported goods which leads to decrease in consumer surplus.

In Great Expectations (1861), Pip, the main character of the story, claims that if Magwitch is caught (C) he will be tried and potentially hanged.
Abel Magwitch is an escaped convict that becomes Pip's friend. When Magwitch is arrested, Pip is conscious that Magwitch's fortune will go to the crown after his trial and he wishes the convict to die before he is hanged at the gallows in order for him not to die as an ordinary criminal. He even visits Magwitch, holds his hand throughout his trial, where he is condemned to death, and stands by his side when he dies before being hanged, fulfilling Pip's wish.
