Miss Havisham (Chapters 46-53) by Cooper
What have I done!? What have I done!? How could it have taken this long for me to realize how much evil I have done? When I didn't see Phillip at Estella's wedding, I finally knew what had to be done. I had him come over, where I begged for forgiveness. I could see through his fake kindness, so I threw myself into my fire... for it was the only way to end my pain. That sweet boy Pip succeeded in saving me, but now I am bed-ridden and in even more pain. He injured himself saving someone he wishes dead, which I feel is a starting point both of our new, humble lives... for now.

Wait, wait, wait... let me get this straight. The only way for you to end your pain was for you to jump into an open fire? Tell me how that makes any sense at all. Seriously... help me out here.
ReplyDeleteMiss Havisham there is something that you have to understand: I never wished you to be dead. There were times in which I was so mad at you that I could not control my anger. There were also times in which I felt very thankful for something that you did, such as let me see Estella all of those times when I was growing up. If nothing else, Miss Havisham, I just wish that you didn't throw yourself into the fire.

My friendliness to you was not fake, though you hurt me dearly, I cannot turn down a cry for sorrow. Get well, good ma'am.

Estella:Mother, you are a terrible person. I have finally come to see that you were a terrible mother. Why would you do that to yourself?!
