An important event that has happened during the second stage so far is Pip's arrival to London. When he first gets there I think that he was kind of interested and intimidated by this huge place because he is a country boy. Mr. Jagger introduces Pip to his clerk Mr. Wemmik, and he soon realizes that he was the pale young gentleman he fought in the garden at Satis house. I think that Pip didn't know becoming a gentleman was going to be like this. I think this shows that Dickens views on the upper class leads to life that isn't enjoyed.
This relates as an important motif of ambition and social improvement because Pips whole goal is to become a gentleman and move up in class but I think the outcome will not be what he expected at all. But hopefully I will find out soon.
