Connections: Gentlemen’s Clubs Gentlemen’s clubs closely connect to Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations because after Pip abandons Joe Gargery as a blacksmith, he immediately travels to London with Jaggers to pursue his past dream of becoming a true gentleman. He is brought to the club where he is generally disappointed because he does not understand the purpose of the establishment. When he turns 21, he receives an increased salary of 500 pounds a year from an unknown benefactor.
