Explanation:
The phrase “pale young gentleman” is a literary description of a character from novel “Great Expectations”. The character is initially known simply as “the pale young gentleman” and is later revealed to be Bentley Drummle, a rival of the novel’s protagonist, Pip. In literature, the term “pale” is often used to describe a character who is physically weak or ill. In the case of Bentley Drummle, his pallor is often contrasted with Pip’s own robust health, highlighting the difference between the two characters. Drummle’s “youth” is also emphasized as he is often described as being younger than Pip, who is the primary narrator of the novel.
