Pip and Estella
In chapters 38 and 39 Pip discovered that Dremmel was Estella's most important suitor. Pip eventually came to the realization that he didn't love Estella anymore. This will be hard for Pip because he has dedicated his entire life to becoming a gentleman just so he can be with her. When Pip realizes he doesn't love her he sees how miserable he has been. " ...I heard of her often in town, and I used often to take her and the Brandleys on the water; there were picnics, fete days, plays, operas, concerts, parties, all sorts of pleasures, through which I pursued her - and they were all miseries to me" (301). Now that he sees this I think he will change, he can do what he really wants to do and not be influenced by Estella. It's probably a good thing that he realized he no longer loved her. Estella on the other hand, I don't think, will change one bit. From the beginning of the book we have seen Ms. Havisham telling her to break men's hearts. She has obviously succeeded with Pip, nd enjoys it to some extent. We also see Estella's relationship with Ms. Havisham (not the best relationship) but Estella still has to listen to what she says so shewill continue to do anything to make men miserable for her.
