How does Pip feel about himself as a gentleman when he no longer has his money and what values of Pip’s society is Dickens critcizing by calling attention to Pip’s feelings?

Pip believed that in being a gentleman, he would also be a “man of leisure". He was of the opinion that gentlemen didn't need to work for a living...... that money, rather than birth or education defined gentility. The notion that he would have to find employment meant that his “great expectations” no longer existed.
