This paper attempted to regard Pip Pirrip as an authoring hero and look at what his prominent characteristics are at first, and then, how these characteristics of his contributes to the securement of persuasiveness in Charles Dickens's discussion about a new gentlemanship in Great Expectations in the Bakhtinian perspective. In this novel, Dickens portrayed his hero Pip as an innocent orphan, isolated both domestically and socio-hierarchically, as well as a sensitive adolescent boy. Also, Dickens narrated Pip's self-authoring, where Pip was establishing his self-identity while responding so sensitively to his personal, social environment. Here Pip was pondering deeply almost all social, individual values disturbing a true gentleman, and his such profound meditation ended up exposing many social absurdities. Becoming a true gentlemen of Pip's can also be an ideological becoming in that it makes him establish his belief system newly as a true gentleman. Actually, Dickens's creativity was highlighted in this effort to make Pip's new autobiography highly persuasive regardless of maximizing his hero's interactive context. This narratology made Pip's becoming a true gentleman more persuasive as well. By using the hero-characteristics of Bildungsroman as variables and restructuring as many gentlemanship-related factors as possible as his hero's lived experiences, Dickens made all his discussions in Great Expectations so persuasive.
