Great Expectations What does Mr. Wopsle say about “the prodigal”? Why did Dickens include this allusion? ch. 3 Asked by BO NER #11 on 8/19/2012 9:21 PM Last updated by Aslan on 8/19/2012 9:31 PM
That would be the prodigal son, an allusion to the old testament story. Take a look at the story and it will all make sense.
