Reading Assignment #6: Chapters 26-34

Jaggers and his house share a constant gloominess. He has a habit of perpetually washing his hands, which means he tries to "wash" away the guilt of shame from the past. He has a very odd taste in men and is selfish.

Pip is very fond of Estella and is starting to give in to Miss Havisham's "trap". Even though Estella warns him that she can never love him, he continues to settle his plan to abandon Joe because he thinks it will please Estella. Being the narrator, Pip is able to step outside his life events for a moment, and wonder how it was he could make a choice without regretting it.
