CH 39?
Magwitch has been on the run for much of his life. He has been unable to make roots, friends or have a proper family. Ironically, Pip had all of these before he became a "gentleman". Magwitch is actually an introspective and sensitive character. He sees his life in context and truly wants to help Pip because he can no longer help himself.
