Great Expectations - Charles Dickens

     


Pip. Unsatisfied with his lot seeks adventure in London as a gentleman. His love interest is spiked by the mean spirited Estella at Miss Haversham's house. Whilst ignoring Biddy the pretty, mild mannered child friend/teacher of his youth. 

I'm at end of vol one at the moment and believe his mysterious benefactor to be Biddy. 

Pip is proud and his ashamedness has got in the way of his most valued friendship with Joesph. Silly. Billy. Pip. 

Watch what money and airs and graces can't bring you... I have a sneaky feeling you shall find out in vol 2 and spend vol 3 trying to repair whatever damage you do to those most valued to you. Ditch the posh girl and open your eyes!!! She's right THERE!! 

Ok, so, my 'Biddy is Pip's benefactor' theory is blown straight out of the water! The convict! Wow, didn't see that one coming!! But I was right that it wasn't Havisham - it couldn't have been what with her hatred for all things male! 

Pip has finally realised he has treated Joe and Biddy like poo. Well Pip, now is the time to lie in that bed that you've made for yourself.... 

On to the final volume of Pip's expectations....

Well, how wrong could I have been?! Biddy was Joe's, and Estella, following her step down from her high horse, was in fact Pip's all along! The old Miss Haversham's cold heart melted when she realised what she had inflicted on poor Pip's heart.

Alls well that ends well I guess :)
