I read Great Expectations in AP English, after a string of books about young women getting pregnant and suffering miserably, and I fell on Estella's neck like a drowning mariner gasping for air. YES ice princess Estella! Make those men suffer! It's payback time!
It's not that I had anything against Pip personally, even, I just felt that his suffering restored balance to the Force after all that poor Hettie went through in Adam Bede.
Still haven't read Our Mutual Friend. Maybe that should be my next Dickens...
