I say goodbye to Estella

  • A Final Visit: Before leaving the country with Provis, Pip decides to visit Satis House to see Estella and Miss Havisham one last time.
  • Rivalry at the Blue Boar: Upon arriving in town, Pip encounters Bentley Drummle. He learns that Drummle is also there to visit Estella and plans to dine with her that evening.
  • The Truth About the Benefactor: Pip confronts Miss Havisham, revealing that he finally knows the identity of his true benefactor and acknowledging that the discovery is a "not a fortunate" one.
  • Miss Havisham’s Deception: Miss Havisham admits she allowed Pip to believe she was his patron. She explains that her motive was to punish her self-seeking relatives by making them think Pip had replaced them in her favor.
  • The Jaggers Connection: Miss Havisham clarifies that Mr. Jaggers being both her lawyer and the lawyer for Pip’s patron was nothing more than a coincidence.
  • Plea for Herbert Pocket: Pip defends the character of Matthew and Herbert Pocket, asserting they are not self-seeking. He asks Miss Havisham to secretly fund Herbert’s business partnership, as Pip can no longer afford to do so himself.
  • A Heartfelt Declaration: Pip turns to Estella and confesses that he has loved her "long and dearly." He admits that while he has no hope of being with her due to his uncertain and potentially impoverished future, he needed her to know his feelings.
  • Estella’s Indifference: Despite Pip’s emotional confession, Estella remains perfectly unmoved, simply shaking her head as she continues her knitting.
