A story about a child's growth. If the child hadn't met Miss Havisham and Estella, he would have grown up and lived "normally". Be a self-righteous blacksmith and marry a virtuous and virtuous Beatty.
But there is such a woman with a fatal temptation. Of course, when we first met, she was a beautiful little girl. Miss Havisham's carefully cultivated tool for revenge on all men. Helena couldn't be more appropriate as Miss Havisham. The gloomy old house, the worn and yellowed wedding dress, the wedding cake eaten by mice, the stagnant time, the pale face. She was just a poor woman who had lost her love. Years later, she recalled the young and innocent Estella with a rare warmth on her face. Before she died, she kept saying, forgive me, forgive me... She used to be a naive girl, waiting for her prince to give her a grand wedding and love. She was crazy for love, crazy for the rest of her life. But she is forgivable.
Estella has the arrogance, indifference, eccentricity and mystery of Miss Havisham in a subtle way. Also extremely attractive. Pip loves her, and he sees her kind and warm corner, even when she bullies him and ignores him since she was a child. One detail is Pip's fiery confession, and she's moved to tears. He told her to follow him, and she fell back into Miss Havisham's lap. Miss Havisham made her the cold-hearted person she is today, but she still loves and appreciates her. She won't let her grow old alone.
Pip came home and saw Beatty's first look, and we all understood what he was trying to say. Beatty also understands, such a smart girl. She told him she was getting married. Joe carried her on his back and doted on her. They are all good people and deserve to be happy.
