one of the parts of great expectations that I dont get is from page 246-247 it is when Pip has come back to his home town. he is walking down the road and it seems that he meets Trabbs boy
"casting my eyes along the street at a certian point of my progress , I beheld Trabb's boy approaching, loashing him-self with an empty blue bag"( pg.246)
Trabbs boy the proceades to fall down frightendeed at Pips feet.However a second later it says that he meets him again and that this time he crawls to Pips feet and begs for mercy. a moment later it happens agian only this time Trabbs boy simply dosent remeber Pip taunting him by saying "dont know yah!".
I am mainly confused on if this is a real happening ( and if so how?) or if it is something Pip is imagining. Pip seems to use languges as if this is really happening however I dont really see how it could work in real life. so my question to you is * begins music*
Is this the real life? or is this just fantasy?

I was really confused by that too. I actually thought that Pip was maybe imagining this occurring too because I too can't see this happening in the real world. I don't really get the whole Trabb's boy and Pip contrast thing.
