After Marcel completed a short vocabulary quiz, we reviewed his study guide homework answers and made revisions and additions where appropriate . In this regard, Marcel discussed how Miss Havisham's agenda is not to just humiliate Pip but to use Estella as a vehicle to emotionally injure as many men as possible.We examined why Drummle is the perfect husband for Estella given his arrogant disregard for all people. Marcel then took notes on today's lesson" What's love got to do with it?- the bildungsroman." We reviewed the characteristics of the genre ,and I explained that the character's journey to self discovery often requires a dive into the crucible of unrequited love. We then examined the text ,and Marcel placed in his notes Pip's definition of love and Miss Havisham's definition of love. We discussed how both ,due to events in their life, have distorted conceptions of love . In Pip's case, he was abused as a child ,a practice we examined Pip perpetrating on his servant . Marcel continues to offer interesting plot predictions as all of the subplots in this complex novel begin to resurface. For homework, quiz tomorrow chapters 27-29, and complete SAT prep material 1-33.
