"Hear me Pip! I adopted her to be loved. I bred her and educated her to be loved. I developed her into what she is, that she might be loved. Love her!" (240) - Miss Havisham
This is the part of the book where Pip is once again visiting Estella and Miss Havisham. I'm not quite sure what Miss Havisham is meaning. Does she actually want Estella and Pip to be happy together or is she simply doing it because in her own selfishness she wants to see Pip suffer?
My question:
In this quote, is Miss Havisham using Pip's obsession for Estella to benefit Pip or herself?

I think Miss Havisham is using Pip for her own personal gain, she was once heart by someone she once loved, and this is her way of getting back at the men.
