I have to write an essay on Uncle Pumblechook in Great Expectations. I’ve written a lot about his role and how he takes Pip to Miss Havisham’s house and later takes credit for his success, but I am trying to find out more about his significance in the story and how he affects Pip’s opinions and decisions. I can also include things about his personality and character traits.

i think he is more like a caricature …
personality traits would be : pompous, boastful (as said by above) .. irritating also lol .. not once in the novel did pip shout back at him .. shows the culture & manner of that time i think ..
Mr. Pumblechook believes forevermore that he had a big hand in helping Pip to his fortune. He tells everyone he meets this, and Pip is thoroughly annoyed with him because, as he brags, Joe is silent.
