3- Pip's Home Life and Estella

Pip has had a tough relationship with Mrs. Joe because she often becomes very angry and violent. However, even though ashamed of him, Pip has a good relationship with the father figure in his life, Joe. Pip's new dream of marrying Estella has caused him to act totally different. He has taken a new interest in school and has been going to his teacher, Biddy quite often because he knows he must be intelligent if he ever is going to climb in class rank. He likes Biddy quite much and sometimes he debates with himself if he likes her of Estella better but always ends up with Estella winning. I still don't understand why he thinks he has a chance with that girl. Anyways, his guilt from his convicts' continues to haunt him as he imagines what would be different if he hadn't helped out the convict. He spots another mean looking person with the filing he gave his convict. This man gives Pip two pounds which he guiltily gives to Mrs. Joe. I know it was a really stupid thing to do but seriously Pip, let it go man. Because of his obsession Estella, he begins going to Miss Havisham's almost daily. He begins learning more things about Miss Havisham and why she acts so differently. One fact that strikes him is the stopping of all the clocks which essentially stops time for Miss Havisham. I and many would agree that this is one crazy and rich old lady. Pip then encounters a boy his age who is part of a higher class that challenges him to a fight where Pip owns him. I had no idea Pip had this in him as he made the other boy look silly. Estella rewards him with a kiss as she is just toying with him. I don't understand how Pip doesn't see the fact that he has no chance.
