It's come to my attention that it's been quite some time (years, actually) since we did a one-word meme. The rules for these are simple: I give you a list of major characters from a Dickens novel; you commenters describe each character using only one word. Here's the first one we did, to give you an example.
So this time we're doing Great Expectations. Your list of characters is below. Go for it!
Pip:
Estella:
Miss Havisham:
Joe:
Magwitch:
Herbert:
Mr. Jaggers:
Wemmick:
Biddy:
Mrs. Joe:
Pumblechook:
Orlick:
Compeyson:
Drummle:
Joe-genuine

I don't know where else to put this comment but if anyone enjoys reading screenplays, the script for the 2012 movie of Great Expectations is now available to read online.
