Pip thinks that Miss Havisham is the fairy godmother and his benefactor but by the end of the novel he realizes that she is the evil ogre. According to Pip Miss Havisham is an immensely rich and grim lady who is living in a large house and leads a life of seclusion. She looks like a lady from another world. “In an arm chair, with an elbow resting on the table and her head leaning on that hand, sat the strangest lady I have ever seen, or shall ever see”1. Miss Havisham had paid Pip a premium of twenty-five guineas for going there.

As a result, even though Pip’s character changes from a frog to a snob, but gradually he realizes that how wrong he was and that he must change his attitude towards his loved ones, especially to Joe. So, he returns to the forge to see Joe and Biddy. “The healing touch at the end of the novel is not the reunion of Pip and Estella, but Pip’s return to the forge.”40

As the time approached I should have liked to run away, but the Avenger pursuant to orders was in the hall, and presently I heard Joe on the staircase. I knew it was Joe by his clumsy manner of coming upstairs—his state boots being always too big for him—and by the time it took him to read the names on the other floors in the course of his ascent.39

In conclusion, Pip realizes that fairy tales doesn’t come true in reality and it was only his imagination that lead him to the false assumptions. In my opinion, Pip shouldn’t have gone that deep in his feelings towards Estella, because that was the reason, why he lost all his love towards his loved ones. He finally, with his snobbish attitude, neither got his love upon his expectations nor the fortune that he was dreaming of, all the time, yet he lost Joe and Biddy’s attentions towards him.
