Estella, an adoptee of Ms. Havisham, is brought of to be cruel and unrespectful to all men. Even though Estella has an absolutely putrid personality, Pip still loves her because of her beauty. Ms. Havisham, Estella's gaudian, is a very strange woman in Pip's eyes. She is very ritsy and also very depressed. Ever since her husband "left her at the alter", she has had bizzare outlooks on life. She just wants to live in the past, and that is all she does. The only thing she thinks about for the future is that when she dies, she will be place on the tabel in one of the rooms in her house. Also in this room is her wedding cake and a few other wedding items.
When Pip's sister and Uncle Pumblechook ask about his first visit to Ms. Havisham, he must lie to avoid being beaten. If he tells his sister that he didn't do what Ms. Havisham asked of him she would become furious. Pip's guilt causes him to tell Joe his secret. Joe is forgiving of Pip but he tells him not to ever lie again. Later at the pub Joe is sitting with a stranger. When Pip joins them, the strange man sneekily pulls out the blacksmith file so only Pip can see. Pip is curious.
