Pip's visits to Miss Havisham's contribute to his developing greater expectations because his visits make him want to become more of a gentleman from seeing Estella. Every time Pip visits he sees Estella, who insults him of his commonness, causing him to yearn to become a gentleman to impress Estella. At first Pip is unaware of everything and just a child until his visit to Ms. Havisham. "'And what coarse hands he has. And what thick boots!'"(quotes Estella[pg. 56]) After he leaves Ms. Havisham's manor house, he lies to everyone about his experience but tells the truth to Joe. "...there had been a beautiful young lady at Ms. Havisham's who was dreadfully proud, and that she had said I was common, and that I wished I was not common..." (quotes Pip [pg. 70]) So this shows after his first visit his perspective changes and he wants to become not common. His visits repeat.
