- W1509984720 abstract "“YOU WITH A PLEASANT HOME? ” Domesticity, the idea of home as a personal ideal and narrative objective, emerges in Great Expectations in the shape of Wemmick's Castle. Compared with Harville's ingenious apartment and Lucy's school-room cottage, the “Pleasant Home” that this dutiful clerk sequesters plays on Ruskin's idea of the home as a shelter from the “anxieties of the outer life … the inconsistently-minded, unknown, unloved, or hostile society of the outer world” ( Sesame and Lilies 85). But at the same time that Great Expectations makes fun of the idea that a home can be successfully sequestered from the world of business, the opposition is endorsed as an immensely happy fiction. Although the presence of a Pleasant Home would seem to be what makes Wemmick and Jaggers different, it is home as an ideal that they share: “What's all this?” said Mr. Jaggers. “You with an old father, and you with pleasant and playful ways?” “Well!” returned Wemmick. “If I don't bring 'em here, what does it matter?” … “You with a pleasant home?” said Jaggers. “Since it don't interfere with business,” returned Wemmick, “let it be so. Now, I look at you, sir, I shouldn't wonder if you might be planning and contriving to have a pleasant home of your own one of these days, when you're tired of all this work.” Mr. Jaggers nodded his head retrospectively two or three times, and actually drew a sigh.
