In Great Expectations, Pip has finally come to realize that Estella never has been the right woman of choice, and that she's never had any interest in Pip. For Pip, this realization is a life changing event for him because he's finally come to realize that he will have to move on in life, and forget about Estella, even though she has been the love of his life. Pip has always had trouble getting Estella off of his mind, because he's obsessed with her. He knew it would be a challenge, but Pip finally realizes that he cannot pull it off by getting Estella's love. "Miss Havisham's intentions towards me, all a mere dream; Estella not designed for me; I only suffered in Satis House as a convenience, a sting for the greedy relations, a model with a mechanical heart to practice on when no other practice was at hand; those were the first smarts I had"(Dickens.323). Pip also learned that the convict has been funding Pip, and he wants Pip to become a gentleman, which came as a huge shock to Pip.
Around the same time that Pip realizes that Estella is not meant for him, Estella finally learns that Miss Havisham has brainwashed her throughout her life, and she taught her to act towards men the way she usually does. Miss Havisham tries to get Estella to break men's hearts, but Estella finally rebels against that idea, and she argues against it. "'I am what you have made me. Take all the praise, take all the blame; take all the success, take all the failure; in short, take me...' 'What would you have.' 'Love.' 'You have it.' I have not.'"(Dickens. 304). Estella is finally catching on to the fact that Miss Havisham has turned her into what she is now, and Estella will try to change that now that she's finally realized.
I predict that these realizations will seperate Pip from Estella for a few years until Estella and Drummle seperate, and Estella will decide to give Pip another chance. After how much disappointment Pip had to go through, it will take a while for Estella to persuade Pip but I think that they will finally be together at some point. Their relationship is very interesting, because they always think the opposite of each other, but finally I think that Pip will learn about Estella's past, and they will love each other. I think that the convict will be a factor in getting Pip and Estella together, because Magwitch will want to help Pip, by becoming a gentleman and letting Pip know that they will fit each other if Pip becomes this gentleman that Magwitch expects. It will be the most important gift that the convict gives to Pip.
