Pip notices that Miss Havisham is hung on everything about Estella. Miss Havisham get angry when Estella starts to move away she says “What! are you tired of me?” They then fight about Estella’s coldness and where she got it from. Later, Pip finds himself unable to sleep so he wanders around, seeing Miss Havisham he decides to follow her. Later, at Finches’ Cove

Drummle

toasts to Estella which makes Pip angry, causing him to challenge

Drummle

for evidence. Embarrassed and jealous when

Drummle

produces a note by Estella, Pip confronts her. He says that Estella should have nothing to do with Drummle and goes on to list his faults.Slide4

Chapter 38: The WhyEstella’s movement from Miss Havisham causes conflict to arise between them over how she was raised. Miss Havisham is seemingly deeply hurt that Estella would treat her like she has been taught to treat everyone else.

Drummle

toasts to Estella leading to Pip’s challenge and embarrassment. Pip later decides to talk to Estella, saying she should avoid him and listing all of his bad qualities.Slide5

Chapter 38: The HowPip’s challenge of Drummle’s

toast to Estella forces Drummle to provide evidence “importing that he had the

honour

of her acquaintance.” Pip is embarrassed when he is then forced to apologize, he is also deeply hurt, thinking that

Drummle

is below Estella. Later, Pip feels the need to confront her about

Drummle. Slide6

Chapter 38: MessageThere’s “no such thing as bad student, only bad teacher” –Miyagi

“When have you found me false to your teaching? When have you found me unmindful of your lessons” When have you found me giving admission here,…, to anything you excluded?” (Dickens 285)

The theme is most strongly shown when Miss Havisham and Estella fight about her actions and feelings toward Miss Havisham. Slide7

Chapter 38: Figurative LanguageRepetition: “So proud, so proud!” “So hard, so hard!” “Who praised me when I learnt my lesson?” “But to be so proud and hard to me!” “Estella, Estella, Estella, to be so proud and hard to

me!” (Dickens 285)

Satire: Dickens satirizes Miss Havisham’s inability to handle the way she has taught Estella to treat others. Her training of Estella backfired, in that in having her treat others that way lead to her treatment of Miss Havisham in the same way.Slide8

Chapter 39: The WhatIn chapter 39, there is a time skip and Pip is now 23 years old. One night an old man enters his apartment and Pip is fearful of the stranger before he recognizes him as the convict that threatened him in chapter one. The convict tells Pip his current situation; that he is on the run from the law, has been famed for murder, and if caught may be executed. Pip also learns that the convict was his benefactor sending him his allowance and wealth to become a gentlemen. Though in fear of his current situation he felt as if it was his duty to help his benefactor.   Slide9

Chapter 39: The WhyPip’s meeting of the convict leads to him allowing the convict to stay with him at his house. His meeting with the convict then sets the scene for his discovery that the convict was in fact his benefactor. His kind treatment toward the convict in chapter one was repaid in the form of great expectations.Slide10

Chapter 39: The HowIn chapter 39 Pip takes care of his convict by housing and feeding him as gratitude for the money he sent. It is also expressed that Pip's feelings for Estella and his current situation has changed when found out who was sending him his wealth. So they may affect his future decisions and actions towards Estella and Miss Havisham. Slide11

Chapter 39: The Message"Be kind to others because you'll never know what you get back.""Yes, Pip, dear boy, I've made a gentleman out of you!" "-I lived rough, that you should live smooth; I worked hard that you should be above work." (Dickens 340)Slide12

Chapter 39: Figurative LanguageForeshadow - "-the clocks of the eastward churches were striking five, the candles were wasted out, the fire was dead, and the wind and rain intensified the thick black darkness." (Dickens 345) Irony/Satire - "You acted nobly, my boy," said he. "Noble Pip! And I have never forgot it!" (Dickens 336) The irony and satire is that the convict worked hard for Pip to become a gentlemen due to him helping the convict in chapter one and calling him "noble", however as Pip grew up he became less noble and in return became a stuck up "brat". Slide13
