A few days later, Mr Pumblechook takes Pip to Satis House, which belonged to a wealthy lady called Miss Havisham, who wants to see children play. She has not left the house since her husband walked out on her, on her wedding day. She now stopped all the clocks in the house, still wears the same dress and still has the same food since that day. (Chapter 7/8)

When Pip arrives at Satis House, he is told to play cards with Miss Havisham’s beautiful adopted daughter, Estella. Pip falls in love with her straight away, but Miss Havisham raised Estella to seek revenge on men, since what her husband done to her on her wedding day. Estella constantly bullies Pip, he feels “common” or “ordinary”. (Chapter 8)
