First, tell us what realizations have occurred for each character and what the immediate ramifications of those realizations were.

Second, predict for each character how these realizations might change them. Essentially, where do Pip and Estella go from here.

Estella has realized she is incapable of love and is cold hearted. Looking at her conversation with Ms. Havisham, "' You stock and stone!' exclaimed Ms. Havisham. 'You cold, cold heart!' 'What?'said Estella, preserving her attitude of indifference as she leaned against the chimney-piece and only moving her eyes; 'do you reproach me for being cold? You?'" (304) Estella realizes that Ms. Havisham caused her to be cold, and her inner emotions have been awakened. She doesn't completely get angry at Ms. Havisham, but she still yells at her, blaming her for causing her to be cold hearted. So she realizes this.

Pip realizes his expectations aren't so great. Finally meeting his benefactor, the convict with the file, he realizes he isn't going to become a gentleman and marry Estella. "...Estella not meant for me..." (323)

Pip will probably search for some new answer, maybe possibly by going back home, and talk with Joe and Biddy for advice. Or ask Mr. Jaggers for some advice or ask Mr. Wemmick.

Estella will probably still go on with life as she always had, but with a slightly different view on relationships.

Pip's visits to Miss Havisham's contribute to his developing greater expectations because his visits make him want to become more of a gentleman from seeing Estella. Every time Pip visits he sees Estella, who insults him of his commonness, causing him to yearn to become a gentleman to impress Estella. At first Pip is unaware of everything and just a child until his visit to Ms. Havisham. "'And what coarse hands he has. And what thick boots!'"(quotes Estella[pg. 56]) After he leaves Ms. Havisham's manor house, he lies to everyone about his experience but tells the truth to Joe. "...there had been a beautiful young lady at Ms. Havisham's who was dreadfully proud, and that she had said I was common, and that I wished I was not common..." (quotes Pip [pg. 70]) So this shows after his first visit his perspective changes and he wants to become not common. His visits repeat.

Blog Post #1 (Anylasis of a Quote)

Mrs. Joe, "By this time my sister was quite desperate, so she pounced on Joe, and, taking him by the two whiskers, knocked his head for a little while against the wall behind him: while I sat in the corner, looking guiltily on.

Mrs. Joe is Pip's older sister who raised Pip by hand because the rest of the family died.(Assumed from the grave tombs and Pip talking about it). Who is married to Mr. Joe a blacksmith, and is unhappy with this life. Mrs. Joe seems controlling and strong. I believe this because looking at the quote above, she is able to attack a blacksmith, who does not fight or attempt to stop her, and knock his head against the wall. In addition, she is controlling because she has some power over Mr. Joe who does not attempt to stop her.
