Another Question!
One thing I still do not understand is the relationship that Pip and Estella actually have. On page 325 Pip says; "The nature of my relations with her, with placed me on terms of familiarity, without placing me on terms of favour, conducted to my distraction." Pip is not at all a dumb person, but how could he really think that they were dating or engaged when she doesn't think so at all? Such as in the Pub with another man toasted to Estella and that made Pip angry when in reality he has no reason to be angry because they aren't officially anything, are they?

I think that basically, Pip likes Estella so much to the point of where he would do anything for her. I dont think that he is dumb, but its that in his own mind they have a relationship, and could potentially become something. So, no, they arent anything official, and I still think that Estella is under Miss Havishams influence in wanting to break Pip's heart.
ReplyDeleteI think that Pip wants so desperately to have Estella feel even an ounce of the amount that he feels for her. He is basically blinded and in denial. SO, no Pip isn't dumb and there is nothing official between the two.
