As Miss Havisham was coming of age, fear and real loneliness had set in and she tried to confide and be loved be Estella. Miss Havisham"s emotional neglection for Estella leads to Estella"s inability to love her back.

             "You made me, you created me.".

             .

             Dickens implies through the aversion towards Miss Havisham and Estella that both characters are very emotionally limited through the inability to communicate, respond, confide and relate to each other"s mutual feelings. .

             A major judgement of character by Dickens is Pip. The reader is both very sympathetic and disheartened towards Pip through his interactions and treatment on other characters, and it is only through these actions we find Pips true sense of being a true gentleman. We are very sympathetic towards Pip through his innocence as a young boy. This initialed sympathy for Pip occurs from a combination of important aspects; Pip"s orphaned status, and his reoccurring recollection of his mothers grave "wife of the above" makes the reader feel in favor for Pip. The treatment of Pip"s legal guardians, Mrs. Joe and Joe, towards Pip and Pips treatment towards his "parents" is of vital importance how the reader sympathizes for Pip. .

             Mrs. Joe"s physical and emotional harshness degrades Pip. She emphasizes the point that she had raised him "by hand", he was a "burden" and should be grateful for all that she has done for him. Although Pip is young and innocent, Mrs. Joe portrays him to be small and worthless. Mrs. Joe is judged not on her status of a well-trained housewife, her possessions, reputation, or for her sacrifices she had made to raise Pip up by hand. She is judged on her inability to show her love, her emotions and her affections towards Pip and her violently plagued temper which made her a hard woman both physically and emotionally.

             Joe"s simplistic nature and ideals created the prefect character for Pip to look up to and confide in at an early age.
