Human emotions and thinking can at times be way too parochial and ungrateful. We weave our own meaning to life. We ascribe ideas to situations and people— the notions which may not exist in reality. Pip sought meaning to his life by clinging onto the Havishams. He thought his benefactress was she. Out of that he also imagined Estella to be destined for him. In the process he left away all those lovely people who cared for him.
And all this while he abhorred and feared the actual benefactor, of course he never knew it was him!
Such a brilliant portrayal. And such ironies of life. And so in-depth study of human mind.
