1) Pip states in a parenthetical comment: "I was not at all happy there at the time, observe, and I knew it well." Why wasn't he happy to have Estella alone in a restaurant?
2) After getting a kiss of her statue like face, Estella reminds him of Miss Havisham's instructions. "Her reverting to this tone, as if our association were forced upon us and we were mere puppets, gave me pain; but everything in our intercouse did give me pain" (289). In what way are Pip and Estella mere puppets. Explain the irony of this situation.
3) Speaking of irony.....what is ironic about Mr. Pocket's lectures? (292)
4) In these middle chapters, we see Pip taking on the role of his new "class" in life. What do you notice about the way he behaves and the way he treats others?
