7.9 I am free from the upper class and the common people, looking for the real "great expectation". I like Dickens' arrangement of the plot so much, and David Lean's adaptation is very restored.

Dickens is good at conveying secret, trivial, tiny details and emotions.

Pip: Why are you going to Richmond, Estella?
Estella: I am going to live, at a great expense, with a lady there who has the power or so she has of taking me about and introducing me, and showing people to me, and showing me to people.

Pip: You'll have a gay time and be much admired. You must look forward to that, Estella.
Estella: It's part of Miss Havisham's plan for me, Pip. I shan't take any great pleasure in events which I don't shape, but I shall be beautiful and I shall be gay, I shall be obedient and I shall write regularly of my gaiety.
Pip: Will you always be part of Miss Havisham's plan, Estella?
