The involvement of Trabb's boy in Pip's rescue from Orlick is an example of <u>irony.</u>
The above question has been asked from the novel “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens.
Trabb's boy had earlier mocked Pip in the public and had brought him great embarrassment. Therefore it becomes ironic that he should be the one who will rescue Pip. Hence, Dickens uses such strategies in his novels in which he places people of good characters with bad traits and vice-versa.
Ned wakes up Aronnax saying "We're going to escape". They planned on leaving at 10:00pm before the moon lit up the night, Ned seems to have seen land somewhere not too far away. The weather was terrible but, they did not seem to mind as they were ready to experience death.<span />
