I find myself wondering about the hold Estella seems to have on Pip. Why is he so consumed by his need to impress her and be a part of her life? She has done little to recommend herself. She is hostile and nasty every time he meets her. Come on Pip let her go!
Have any of you ever met an Estella - a disdainful person that you inexplicably felt the need to impress? I certainly have. Did you wish to impress this person, or did you simply want to avoid them?

I agree, the Estella obsession has go to go! He is blinded and downright stupid when it comes to this girl.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that there is not even a mention of meeting another girl. I would imagine that he must have had the opportunity to meet other girls, but there is no mention of such meetings. Instead, Estella is the only girl that even registers on his radar. When I have met people like Estella, I tend to avoid them rather than try to impress them. Since I have no idea what would impress them, I won't even try!
