Three Skit Scenes

• The first scene I would enjoy seeing is the first time that Pip goes to Satis House. The important characters would be Pip, Estella, and Miss Havisham. Somethings that would be important would be to portray how creepy Miss Havisham is and to show that there is something of a mystery going on with her. Also what would be important would be for Estella and Miss Havisham to continually put down Pip, because it is at this time when he first wants to have a different life than the one he is living.
• Another scene I would like to see is when Pip and Herbert re meet at Bernard's Inn. The Only characters would be Herbert and Pip, but I feel this is important because Herbert plays such a prominent role.
• The very last scene is the one I would like to see the most. I would like to see the scene where Estella goes back to visit Satis House with Pip and she and Miss Havisham get into a huge fight. The important characters would be Pip, Estella, and Miss Havisham.Basically the most important thing would be the fight between Estella and Miss Havisham.

Question #2

This may seem like a very simple question, with a really obvious answer, but I still don't get it. In chapter 44, Pip travels with Estella to see Miss Havisham one last time. Now it is a well know fact that Miss Havisham has always been awful to Pip. She is constantly telling Estella to break his heart. However, in this chapter, Miss Havisham shows an act of kindness to Pip. She is truthful with him and tells him that she purposely did all these horrible things to him. What I don't get is why she was finally truthful with him. After all of this, she is finally remotely nice to him. But why?

Question about a passage. What are they talking about?

Today, (March 10, Wednesday) we had a list of questions to answer in class. One of them being something like; Why, at the end of chapter 31, are Pip's anxieties increased instead of settled. So I started thinking about it, and I realized something was funny about chapter 31. Throughout the whole thing Pip is in a bit of a bad mood because he loves Estella and she still treats him like mud. But at the very end (On page 259), he all the sudden becomes mega depressed. it says "Miserably I went to bed after all, and miserably thought of Estella, and miserably dreamed that my expectations were all cancelled, and that I had to give my hand in marriage to Herbert's Clara, or play Hamlet to Miss Havisham's Ghost, before twenty thousand people, without knowing twenty words of it."

So my question is; Why did Pip all the sudden get super depressed at the end of chapter 31?

You may be confused as to why a butterfly relates to Great Expectations but to me its rather obvious. One of the themes of this book is Pip growing up and becoming a man. The process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly really symbolizes this. It also relates in the way that Pip is shedding his country origins to go to the city to become a gentleman, much in the same way that a caterpillar sheds its skin to become something sophisticated.
