Pip told me just yesterday about how he made his first visit to Miss Havisham’s house. A girl his age opened the gate to the entrance of her house when he called to be let in. Pip was immediately enchanted with her beauty, in other words, she was totally H-O-T, HOT, HOT, HOT. However, she looks down on him and calls him “boy” instead of his real name, for what reason, I don’t know. Anyways, Pip is exceedingly nervous of how to act around the girl (Estella) and Miss Havisham. He is also scared to death of her house, which has no lights on. All the windows are boarded up, dust and cobwebs are covering everything, and all the clocks are stopped at twenty minutes to nine. Mrs. Havisham is a wreck, more of an old hag, and scares Pip more than everything else in her house. She is still in her wedding apparel, which has turned yellow (gross), and is surrounded by things necessary for a wedding. I mean, this lady is seriously cracked. She asks Pip, who is quite beside himself, to play to satisfy her sick fancy of seeing someone play. There is definitely something wrong with that woman. However, he obviously can’t play by himself, so he just stands there awkwardly. Mrs. Havisham tells him to call in Estella. He does and starts playing cards with her. At this point in time, he is feeling very nervous, but at the same time, very happy. I bet that he was thinking,” YEAH!!!!!! I get to play cards with the hot babe”! Now, at first though, Estella, being ever so snotty, doesn’t want to play cards with the coarse, thick boy. But after Mrs. Havisham told her that she could break his heart, she was like,” WOOHOO, I get to wreak havoc on this little kid’s heart”! After Estella had beaten Pip at cards, Pip asked Mrs. Havisham if he could go home, which was a great idea, he really needed to get out of that loony bin. Mrs. Havisham tells him to play one more game and then he could go. During this pause in the action, Mrs. Havisham starts to ask Pip personal questions like how he thought of Estella. Here is where he made his fatal flaw; you never tell a creepy old lady what you think of a girl if that girl is practically their daughter. My buddy Pip told her that he thought that Estella was very proud, insulting and pretty. This knowledge will help Mrs. Havisham in manipulating Estella to make my buddy Pip feel miserable, which is really creepy. If it was me, I would have told the old hag to get off my back. But Pip, kind and naïve as always, just decided to answer the questions. After Estella had won the second game, Pip was ready to leave. Nevertheless, Estella had one more opportunity to make Pip miserable, and of course she took it. She went to go get some food for Pip, came back with it, and put it on the ground as if he were a dog. This was just too much for my pal, and he ran away from her in tears. When Pip had finished his meal, he asked to be let out, which Estella did, all the while mocking him, making his first day at Miss Havisham’s house both wonderful and unbearable.
