Miss Havisham is weird
I finished chapter 13 and I gotta say this book isn't as horrible as I heard that it would be. The beginning was slow and that convict was really creepy. However, for a convict, he seems to be a relatively nice guy. At first he seemed really mean when he threatened to cut out Pip's heart and liver. However, he took the blame for the goods he forced Pip to steal when he was captured. The most disturbing thing I've read so far is about Miss Havisham. It seems to me that something terrible happened at the time when all of her clocks stopped. Based on what she is wearing and the placement of various objects, I think that she was preparing for her wedding, when she was given devastating news, probably that her spouse to be died. She stopped in mid-dress, and she didn't continue on with her life and sat near lifelessly. I'm conflicted between feelings of pity, awe, and a little bit of disgust.
