Blog 3
Throughout the chapters Pip and Estella spend much time together. Pip loves Estella and is her suitor, once Pip finds out that another man Drummell is also courting her he is very upset. The whole reason Pip is so obsessed with Estella is because he thinks that Miss Havasham was his benefactor, and that it is meant to be. But when he realizes that she is not he has finally sort of given up on Estella in my opinion. This will greatly change Pip and maybe even Estella. What is Pips motivation to be a gentleman now? will he go appologize to Joe? Pip will realize that he spent most of his life to win over a girl that he will never get. And Estella may realize that she cannot keep doing what she does. On page 301 Pip talks about Estella saying "With a cold careless smile that always chilled me." This shows how Pips feelings are starting to change for Estella. He doesnt love her anymore and i feel like Pip will be a more interesting character now because he is able to do what he wants now.

I also think that this is going to change the both of them but i feel that Pip will always love Estella and his feelings for her will never truly change. "Out of my thoughts! You are part of my existence, part of myslef. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then. You have bben in every prospect I hace ever seen since- on the river, on the sails of the of the ships, on the marshes, in the clouds, in the light, in the darkness, in the wind, in the woods, in the sea, in the streets. You have been the emodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become aquainted with. The stones of which the strongest London buildings are made, are not more real, or more impossible to be displaced by your hands, that your presences and influence have been to me, there and everywhere, and will be. Estella, to the last hour of my life, you cannot choose but remain part of my character, part of the little good in me, part of the evil. But, in this seperation I associate you only with the good, and will faithfully hold you to that always, for you must have done me far more good that harm, let me feel now what sharp distrss I may. O God bless you, God forgive you." (pg 364-365) Based on this quote, I feel that Pip may be jealous of Drummel and really mad at Estella, but I don't think that he will ever forget her and love someone else. She was the love of his life and she was his one true love. I feel that he might try to get over her just to make it seem that he might not care about her marriage as much as he claims, but he will never get over his desire to be with her. I do agree with you on the fact that both their lives are going to change from this point foward.
