This is a
passage of what Pip said to Estella, a reflection of his desperation in his
everlasting love to Estella…
You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then.
What makes
it more tragic is that it was so true, that Pip’s strong determination to be a
gentleman was mostly to melt Estella’s cold iron heart. It can be said that Pip’s
life changed after he had seen Estella for the first time. What a love! And
when I thought at first it’s only a childish love, it lasted until Pip grown up
to become a gentleman. Once again, what a love that someone you love can be
part of your existence!
