Reading Assignment 8

Pip's relationship with Miss Havisham and Estella is really shown in these chapters because Estella kind of ends everything that was between her and Pip by telling him she is going to marry Drummle. Miss Havisham feels bad for him showing that even though she decieved Pip into thinking she was his benefactor and didn't really help him with Estella, she does care about him and wants him to be happy. Pip then gets the note from wemmick telling him not to go home. This shows that even though Jaggers is kind of Pip's primary care giver, that there are alot of other people that care about Pip's well-being. Finally, Pip finds out that Magwitch is Estella's father. This further more ties the characters in the book together. This could be Dickens's way of showing that everyone was in one way tied to each other during the Industrial Revolution.
