Final answer:

Mr. Wopsle in 'Great Expectations' is best identified as a guest at the Christmas dinner, known for being the church clerk as well as for his interest in theatre.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations, Mr. Wopsle is introduced in chapter four as a character who attends the Christmas dinner. He is not directly related to Pip but is an acquaintance of the family and can best be described as a guest at the Christmas dinner.

Mr. Wopsle is well known to Pip and the household. He is in fact the church clerk and is also recognized for his theatrical aspirations throughout the novel.

The novel itself is a classic example of first-person narration, allowing readers to experience both the adult and child perspectives of the protagonist Pip.
