Jaggers servant is described as “women of about forty”,”extremely pale” and looked as though she had risen “out of the Witches’ caldron”. Later in the chapter, Jaggers humiliates the servant by showing all of his guests her scars which infers that Jaggers may of employed her due to her seemingly troubled past and odd nature so he could exert power over her. Her description is similar to that off a ghost or a fiend which reflects to an extent in her personality, being a very quiet person in the background, meant to not speak out of turn. Jaggers being to complete opposite and in his general personality means he could embarrass her for the enjoyment of his guest with little to no resistance. Jaggers seems to thrive on humiliating other people which is shown in the this chapter where he shows everyone the scars on her wrists and when he humiliates Mr Worsley earlier in the book.

The use of the simile “like the faces I had seen rise out of the Witches caldron” gives the idea of something unnatural or demonic coming from the caldron which is what Pip is trying to say about Jaggers servant which is in reference to Macbeth. Pip uses “lithe” which means very thin and nimble further adds to her ghost-like demeanor.
