Mrs. Joe, "By this time my sister was quite desperate, so she pounced on Joe, and, taking him by the two whiskers, knocked his head for a little while against the wall behind him: while I sat in the corner, looking guiltily on.
Mrs. Joe is Pip's older sister who raised Pip by hand because the rest of the family died.(Assumed from the grave tombs and Pip talking about it). Who is married to Mr. Joe a blacksmith, and is unhappy with this life. Mrs. Joe seems controlling and strong. I believe this because looking at the quote above, she is able to attack a blacksmith, who does not fight or attempt to stop her, and knock his head against the wall. In addition, she is controlling because she has some power over Mr. Joe who does not attempt to stop her.

I agree with your description of Joe, he is strong but he is not controlling at all, you see in the story that Mrs. Joe always is controlling Joe. Joe is more of a quiet laid back, blacksmith. She does have a dictator power over him and Pip."By this time my sister was quite desperate, so she pounced on Joe..." This quote is the most cut and clear explanation of her. She needs that control and she is very mean.
