Blog #3

Dickens has kept us entertained for 300 pages setting us up for the climactic events of Chapters 38-39. Pip, who we’ve watched struggle with his aspirations and expectations, has been dealt the metaphoric “punch in the gut” (I think we saw that one coming…) while Estella, a student of the philosophy of Dee Snider, may not take it anymore!

For this blog, we’re looking for two things:

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?

Be sure to base your predictions on what we know. This blog may not necessitate a direct quote as evidence, but it still should use the text as a reference and your analysis needs to be thoroughly convincing.
