In part I, Pip begins to create expectations of himself that keep growing and growing the more he visits Miss Havisham's house. Pip tries to fit into the wealthy crowd, but Estella continuously shuts him down. She insults his speech, education, and clothing; causing Pip to cry. Miss Havisham may be pulling the strings in this situation to in a way get back at men for what her fiance had done to her. However, Pip continues to make his expectations bigger, so the end result can be a future filled with wealth and everything that comes with it. Pip seems to be a kind person in the beginning of the book: helping the convict and his love for people who love him (Joe), but Miss Havisham and Estella change him into the complete opposite of what he used to be. Pip now believes that people of the higher class have the right to treat lower people like garbage and he wants to be able to do that.
