Exploding brain

Chapter 42 blew my mind. Through a series of eerie coincidences, Magwitch came to know the man who left Miss Havisham on their wedding day. Magwitch also swore vengence on him for performing such a rotten deed. I was also delighted to learn that Arthur felt remorse for his vile actions, unlike Compeyson. Also, in chapter 44, Miss Havisham seems to take Pity on Pip which is the opposite of what her personality up to that point would lead us to believe she would do. I feel sorry for Pip as well. After confessing his love for Estella and being shut down for Drummle was probably the most painful thing that did or ever will happen to him. He was obbsessed with the notion only to find that his feelings were not Reciprocated. By the way, Chapter 44 had the Best ending of any chapter yet. "Don't go home." Why do you thinnk that Wemmick wrote this note to Pip telling him not to go home.

it can't be! a chapter of great expectations actually blew someone's mind. That's good to hear.
