In both the first and second stage of Great Expectations there is a major theme of guilt. In the first stage, Pip, because he is a young child, feels guilty for aiding a criminal and for wishing for a richer lifestyle than the one he is currently living in. In the second stage, once Pip has received everything he's ever wanted and learns that he's gained it with the help of a criminal, Pip once again feels guilty, though this time it's for leaving the life he once had.
This picture portrays a feeling of guilt, which I thought summed up the theme of the book.
