Pip and Estella's "romance" starts from the first time they meet at Mrs. Havisham's house. The love is only comes from one side, Pip. He grows fond of here immediately because of her beauty even though she insults him constantly about his economic status. She says he has coarse hands and thick boots, which because he has a crush on her, he takes these things into consideration and wants to change for the better. Unfortunately in the process of becoming a gentelman and trying to win over Estella, he loses his best childhood friend Joe. Pip was willing to do whatever it takes to be with Estella but Estella had ignored Pip's love for her and she fell in love with a young man named Bentley Drummle. This helps Pip understand how serious Estella was when she first said she could never fall in love witih Pip. At first Pip is overwhelmed and very upset by his realization of never having his love met by Estella. I predict that Pip will move on from his love for Estella. I don't think Pip will ever love someone as much as he loved Estella because of all his memories and effort he put into being with her. Pip delt with the adversity of Estella insulting him for being a lower class boy by trying to get her to fall in love with him for decades. I think Pip will deal with this emotional tragedy by working just as hard at being a gentleman to a new girl because not many people in Pip's life had shown him what love looks or feels like. I think he's still searching for true love because he knows he is missing out and now has no chance with Estella. I don't think Estella will forget Pip by any means but she will live her life with Bentley as happy as possible and won't regret her decision to never love Pip. She has always been a very cruel but honest person and if she said she could never love Pip then she made the right decision to be with Bentley and Pip will have to find some one else.
