Characters then become themes in themselves, almost a [[Richard Wagner|Wagnerian]] ''[[leitmotiv]]'', whose attitudes are repeated at each of their appearances as a musical phrase signaling their entry.<ref name="Suhamy21">{{harvnb|Henri Suhamy|1971|p=21}}</ref> For example, Jaggers constantly chews the same fingernail and washes his hands with scented soap, Orlick lurches his huge body, and Matthew Pocket always pulls at his hair. Seen by the narrator, their attitude is mechanical, like that of an automaton: in the general scheme, the gesture betrays the uneasiness of the unaccomplished or exasperated man, his betrayed hope, his unsatisfied life.<ref name="Suhamy21"/> In this set, every character is orbited by "satellite" characters. Wemmick is Jaggers's copy at work, but has placed in Walworth a secret garden, a castle with a family of an elderly father and a middle-aged fiancée, where he happily devours buttered bread.<ref name="Suhamy6">{{harvnb|Henri Suhamy|1971|p=6}} (Romantisme)</ref> Wopsle plays the role of a poor Pip, kind of unsuccessful, but with his distraction, finally plays ''Hamlet'' in London, and Pumblechook does not hesitate to be the instrument of Pip's fortunes, then the mentor of his resurrection.<ref>{{harvnb|Henri Suhamy|1971|p=23}}</ref>
