Humor and sarcasm show in some of the holiday interactions, as well. Pip relates how Uncle Pumblechook is Joe’s uncle, but Mrs. Joe appropriates him, and every Christmas when Pumblechook brings the same two bottles of wine to Mrs. Joe, she responds with the same words: “Oh Un—cle Pum—ble—chook! This IS kind!” Dickens’ character descriptions are equally sarcastic: “Uncle Pumblechook: a large hard-breathing middle-aged slow man, with a mouth like a fish, dull staring eyes, and sandy hair standing upright on his head, so that he looked as if he had just been all but choked, and had that moment come to.”
