Blog #3

The big thing that happened in these chapters was Estella's realization of her own despicable attitude. She acknowledges the fact that she was brought up to be a heartless witch and can't love anyone. She realizes this when they make what seems to be their final visit to Miss Havisham. The old crone still plays with Estella like a doll and she just snaps.
From this point, Estella will probably end up pretending to be happy with Drummle, but not REALLY love him, break his heart, thus destroying his life, and then attempting to live her life like nothing ever happened and possibly try to, and fail, at being happy with Pip. Estella is destined to live a life of torment. She was raised to live no other way.

Blog Assignment 1

Pip: "...I felt fearfully sensible of the great convenience that the Hulks were handy for me. I was clearly on my way there. I had begun by asking questions, and i was going to rob Mrs. Joe."

Pip is a caring and selfless individual, however meek. He was going to rob his sister to help the escaped convict he had only met recently. He may had done it out of fear, for fear that the 'other convict' would kill him in his sleep, but he later said that he was glad that he enjoyed the food so much. he may had feared for his life as he watched the convict scarf down the food and compared the endeavor to how a dog eats, but he was glad that he was helpful nonetheless. he also means what he says. Rarely does Pip lie about anything. he stayed true to his word and robbed Mrs. Joe, even if it meant a run-in with the Tickler.
