She addresses to Estella “Break their hears and have no mercy.” Only a truly sick person could say this, but Pip ignores her thoughts. Pip claims, “I should have been happier and better if I had never seen Miss Havisham’s face.” He realizes, overtime, that she has effected him so much in a bad way and wishes that they never met.

There was barely any time for homework because I was so exhausted every time I got off work. I couldn’t make plans to hang out with anyone at eight in the morning so that shot my social life. I would go to sleep at nine, wake up at four, and then only have an hour or two to get homework done.
