Pip reveals that “The unqualified truth is, that when I loved Estella with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible […] Once for all; I loved her nonetheless because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me, than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection” (Dickens 29.2). He recognizes her faults, but she is still difficult to resist. The lesson in these novels is clear.
Were Romeo and Juliet ever supposed to be together? Their love was never known about until the end of each other’s lives. Both Romeo and Juliet never had the chance to tell the families about their secret love, and how the got married.

Because Pip and and Estella meet again at the Satis house, where they first encountered each other, the book comes to a closed a circle. Also, some could argue that it is well suited that Magwitch’s daughter finds happiness with Pip. Despite the fact, the revised ending
He has always loved Estella, but he shows compassion best through his relationship with Magwitch. As Magwitch is on his deathbed Pip speaks to him. Pip tells Magwitch that he will never leave his side, and that he only wishes to be as loyal to Magwitch as he was to Pip (Dickens 193). This shows how Pip can be compassionate. The final way Pip shows good is he is a better friend to Joe.
Although Bethel University structures its virtual classroom around the model of a traditional classroom there are some differences between the two that are important for students to understand in order to succeed. Bethel’s online program requires each student to attend a lecture, read the course material, participate in a classroom discussion, and submit assignments as in any other classroom setting.

He then has to face the fact that Estella does not love him and all the work he has put in to gain her attention, is only now to his advantage. This goes to show that people get so focused on impressing others and fitting in that they forget who they really are and what will result in the best outcome.

This lesson demonstrates how no matter what one should focus on the real meanings of life, and not material
Pip wants Estella so badly that he tries to change everything about his life: he attempts to become rich, well educated, popular, and a gentleman. One is constantly reminded of Pip’s love for Estella. Estella allows the theme of unbridled love to come through, and demonstrate how love can possess too much power, driving one to the ends of the Earth. Love also resembles something very abstract but yet so powerful. The following quote demonstrates the power of Pip’s love for Estella, and how Estella holds power over Pip since he loves her.
Although Pip does not know the identity of his benefactor, he keeps in his mind that Miss Havisham is his benefactor. Pip thinks that she is there to raise him to become a gentleman so he can marry Estella. Pip's thoughts as to who he wants his secret benefactor to be shows a sign of immaturity. Additionally, when Pip starts learning to become a gentleman, he becomes mean to Joe and Biddy because they are much different to his new lifestyle. When Joe visits, Pip is snobbish to him because he is not behaving properly.
