Great Expectations (the seventh session) Response

I think that when Dickens decided to choose Abel as the convict's first name, it showed that Abel always got the short end of the stick. He may have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time or maybe even aggravated someone with higher power. Such as Cain was irritated by Abel. For this cause of aggravation he was punished although he may have not "sinned".
Pip and Herbert need to get Abel out of England. For one, they don't want him to go to prison. And two, (most importantly) they don't want to get pulled down with him for aiding and abiding a criminal.
Compeyson is the younger convict that Pip saw with Magwitch the second time on the marshes. Magwitch wished he had paid more attention to Compeyson's partner because Compeyson became a bigger success than Magwitch. Compeyson would always have some control over Magwitch from that point on.
