We first addressed the novel's next big plot surprise: Magwitch, the convict, is actually Estella's father. We noted the irony . Estella projects herself as the epitome of upper class society .Yet, she would be spurned violently if people knew her true lineage . We further discussed the symbolism of PIp's physical wound and healing as he develops values . In this regard, we studied the text and focused on Pip;s selflessness and compassion as he readily forgives Miss Havisham and asks nothing for himself. Likewise, we studied the textual passage wherein Miss Havisham pleads for forgiveness and exhibits deep remorse as she has led a life consumed with hatred and revenge. We discussed how the motif of remorse and guilt has appeared throughout the novel.
