After Pip receives an unexpected boon of a gentleman's upbringing and the " great expectation " of a future fortune from an unknown benefactor, he finds himself released from the blacksmith's apprenticeship that had been funded by Miss Havisham as compensation for Pip's years of service to her.

Aside from the evident romantic interest, which continues through much of the story, Pip's meeting with Estella marks a turning point in his young life: her beauty, grace, and prospects represent the opposite of Pip's humble existence.

Almost the first step in the corruption of Pip's values is the unworthy shame he feels when Estella cruelly remarks the coarseness of his hands: `` They had never troubled me before, but they troubled me now, as vulgar appendages ''.

We take leave of Pumblechook as he gloats over Pip's loss of fortune, extending his hand `` with a magnificently forgiving air '' and exhibiting `` the same fat five fingers '', one of which he identifies with `` the finger of Providence '' and shakes at Pip in a canting imputation of the latter's `` ingratitoode '' and his own generosity as Pip's `` earliest benefactor ''.

Miss Havisham repents late in the novel when Estella leaves to marry Pip's rival, Bentley Drummle ; and she realises that she has caused Pip ’ s heart to be broken in the same manner as her own ; rather than achieving any kind of personal revenge, she has only caused more pain.
