More Pip stuff.

Well...I still can't believe Pip isn't over Estella. After all of the things she's done to him in the past ten years and is still doing to him, you'd think he'd finally wake up when he's 23 years old! It seems as Pip gets older he's getting less and less mature, maybe it's his new "gentleman" way of life. I honestly do think he was more mature when he was 11...he had more common sense back then. At least he accepted back then that it probably wouldn't work between him and Estella.

I think Pip's expectations of the gentlemen life were too high. It turns out Estella isn't rushing over to him just because he's a "gentleman" now.

Pip = annoying.

It's true, he has to be the most annoying character i've ever read in a book. Ok, maybe not...but, he's definitely up there.

Joe is probably my favorite character in Great Expectations because he has given Pip so much and is one of the few people in Pip's life who seems to truly care about him, yet...he throws it all away to go to London and is upset because Joe isn't wealthy enough? Why? Pip is so selfish, I think maybe one of the reasons I don't like the plot too much is because I hate the main character...Pip.
