Answer:

After Pip met Estella and had become infatuated with her he becomes disgusted with his present situation as an assistant to Joe in his forge. In Ch 13 he is formally apprenticed to Joe and the chapter ends with Pip telling us that he was

"truly wretched and had a strong conviction on me that I should never like Joe's trade. I had liked it once, but once was not now."

He analyses his feelings very carefully and records them in minute detail in the next chapter:

"I had believed in the forge as the glowing road to manhood and independence. Within a single year, all this was changed. Now, it was all coarse and common, and I would not have had Miss Havisham and Estella see it on any account."

Till he was sent to Satis House where he first met and became infatuated with Estella he always looked forward to becoming an apprentice to Joe but after he met Estella he became disgusted with his profession and ashamed of his low social status and in Ch.14 he tells us what he dreaded most:

"What I dreaded was, that in some unlucky hour I being at my grimiest and commonest, should lift up my eyes and see Estella looking in at one of the wooden windows of the forge."

What does the swallows dead body most likely symbolize ?<br> (The book : The happy prince )
larisa [96]

Answer:

The dead of the swallow most likely symbolizes the kind heart the swallow had that he gave his life for a good cause.  

Explanation:

The story shows us that the swallow did for poor people much more than humanity, he knew that staying during the cold time would cost his life but it was impossible for him to leave knowing that there were so many in need, so when he dies his body is taken by angels to demonstrate that God loves the creatures that do good to others, and the good work of the swallow became bigger through his memory.
