Mrs. Joe Character assesment

Mrs. Joe is a very aggressive angry woman who manipulates people to get what she wants. We know this because when"...she was quite desperate, she pounced on Joe". She takes her anger out on other people, sadly she is always angry. She raised Pip by "hand" basically beating into him different morals and ideals. Also, she enjoys feeling like she is in controll of the situation. But, she is very bitter that she had to raise Pip because she gets nothing out of it. This combination of bitterness and selfishness makes her almost unbearable. In order to get what she she intimidates everyone around her; like Pip who "...sat in the corner, looking on guiltily" while Joe was being beaten. They are afraid to defy her so they always do what she wants, and on the rare occasion they don't they get punished. All of this creates tension in there household and causes Joe and Pip to be very close. Even though she gets what she wants she is still unhappy. The more unhappy she is the more they get harassed.
