Dickens does it again, i remember reading 𝖠 𝗍𝖺𝗅𝖾 𝗈𝖿 𝗍𝗐𝗈 𝖼𝗂𝗍𝗂𝖾𝗌 and feeling miserable and the same thing happened again and yeah i cried this time. :(
The story follows a young boy, Pip who has great ambitions and expectations. I'll try to write the review with respect to his relationships with other people in the story.
🕯️𝐏𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 : i feel like this is one of the most important dynamics in the story, Pip falls in love with her at the first sight for her and continues to love her till the end. The love he has for Estella defies everything; logic and reason

As for Estella i think she wanted to love him but she was simply not capable of doing so because of Miss Havisham's influence and Pip was aware of it, he knew it was a hopeless love.

And i am happy Dickens gave them a happy ending ( ik it's ambiguous so I think they ended up together)

🕯️𝐏𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 : This is definitely the most important relationship in the whole story and for some reason it highly resonated with me. Magwitch had a very unhappy life, betrayed by everyone and rejected by the society, he finds solace in the kindness of young Pip and loves him dearly.
▫️“ 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡; 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤”

Pip in his arrogance has a difficulty in accepting him in the beginning but eventually he learns dear to him and does everything he could to keep him safe and sane. The last chapters of them spending the time together brought me to tears. I wish, I wish that he hadn't died.

🕯️𝐏𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐦: Miss Havisham is quite similar to Magwitch in certain aspects and the relationship b/w Pip and her is a complicated one. Pip in his ignorance thinks it's Miss H who's his benefactor and therefore respects and loves her. But he doesn't cease to do so when he learns the truth. Despite her being the reason for Pip losing Estella, he doesn't hate her. And Miss H realises her mistake and becomes even more miserable .
