I loved the fight between Miss Havisham and Estella in Chapter 38. What did Miss Havisham expect? She created Estella to be proud and hard so she shouldn't require anything less for herself from the girl she raised.
What do you think? Should Estella have tenderness for her "mother by adoption" that raised her to be so cold and heartless?

Of course not. Pip and Estella have that in common. Both were raised by woman that could not show them compassion or love yet somehow expected it in return. Then when it comes time that these women want the love from those they it's not there. How could they be surprised?
ReplyDeleteIt is ironic that Miss Havisham expects to receive love from a person that she raised to be cold and uncaring. What goes around comes around!
