Ch 54-59 Pip POV by Kat S

I am very saddened by the death of Magwitch. Even though he brought a lot of pain into my life, he also brought me happiness. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to tell him about Estella and that she is doing well and I love her. I believe Magwitch died a happy man. I have realized that when I became a gentleman I also became a snob. Therefore, I was hurting the people around me. I got struck down by an illness and my health became poor. I kept seeing Joe in my dreams. I then realized that I am really seeing Joe. I grieve for the fact that Joe thinks he is not good enough to be in my presence and leaves. It is my own fault for treating him poorly. I am grateful that he nursed me back to health and helped me with my debt. I think that it is about time to let go of my dream to be with Estella and move on with Biddy. I was disappointed when I returned home to find that Joe and Biddy were getting married. Since I no longer have any real ties left to the Marsh I agreed to be a clerk for Herbert. This resulted in a strong friendship and later business partners. I am excited that Biddy and Joe had a baby boy and I am honored that they named him after me. I am not sorry that Drummel was killed by his horse. He was horrid and cruel to everyone, including Estella. I returned to the Satis House where I saw Estella in the garden. I think both of have come to piece with are pasts at the Satis House and what role it played in our futures. I let her know that even though I did not end up with her, I was glad to know that she changed for the better. Seeing her made me feel good inside. I hope that someday we can become friends or maybe something more but until then I can only hope for a brighter future.
