Even more questions and “I wonders” from Great Expectations.
I found it rather strange, but not all too surprising, that we run into the convict from the bar again. Dickens foreshadows so much that events such as these become less and less surprising each time. I wonder if things have changed at Miss Havisham’s since we had last been there.
Ugh! Why in the world is Orlick at Miss Havisham’s? I realize that he is the door man, but I’m still quite confused; I don’t have any idea why that LOSER is here!
Of course Estella is even more beautiful! I’m glad that Pip has feelings for Estella, but I feel quite bad for Biddy. [I think that she has quite a crush on Pip and I’m not sure if Pip sees it.] I wonder why Miss Havisham refuses to eat or drink in the presence of anyone else.
In the Pucket home, how strange is it that all of the children, except for Baby, are engaged to be wed? Some of the children are probably about 6 years old! [pg 197] It’s weird enough to have an arrange marriage, but at that age?
Pip and Estella’s relationship is still quite strange. Pip has quite a fealty towards Estella and would do anything for her. Estella on the other hand treats their relationship like a chore; like it must be done.
I am failing to see the significance in going to Mr. Wopsle’s play. During and after the show I geot even more disgusted with how snotty these gentlemen are.
I don’t mind reading this book now!
