John Wemmick is a fictional character in Charles Dickens's 1861 novel Great Expectations. He is Mr Jaggers's clerk and the protagonist Pip's friend.[1] Some scholars consider him to be the "most modern man in the book".[2][3] Additionally, Wemmick is noted as one of Dickens's "most successful" split characters, insofar as Wemmick's character represents an exploration of the "relationship between public and private spheres in a divided existence".[4]
