Internal Conflict
* Pip's Fear and Shame: Pip is terrified of the escaped convict, Magwitch. He feels guilty about stealing food and a file for him, and his fear stems from both the convict's physical presence and the potential consequences of his actions. This fear and shame create a significant inner turmoil for the young Pip.
* Pip's Confusion and Self-Doubt: Pip is a child trying to navigate the complex world around him. He struggles to understand why his sister and her husband are so harsh, and he feels inadequate compared to his older sister's son, Joe. These feelings of confusion and inadequacy contribute to his inner conflict.
External Conflict
* Pip's Encounter with Magwitch: This is the most obvious external conflict. Pip's encounter with the escaped convict is dangerous and unsettling. It forces him to confront his own fears and make difficult decisions.
* Pip's Family Dynamics: Pip's life is filled with tension. He feels neglected by his sister and her husband, who treat him harshly. The constant bickering and lack of affection create an external conflict within his family.
* Pip's Poverty: Pip's poverty is a constant source of external conflict. He lacks the basic comforts and opportunities that others have, leading to feelings of inferiority and a yearning for a better life. This external conflict will play a significant role in the story's development.
Note: While Chapter 1 is primarily focused on Pip's initial encounter with Magwitch and the external conflict it generates, the seeds of Pip's internal conflict are already present. These internal struggles will become increasingly significant as the story unfolds.
