Taken to the Satis House by his Uncle Pumblechook one day, Pip, a young orphan, meets a wealthy, eccentric spinster, Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward, Estella.

"You must know,"Ā said Estella, condescending to me as a brilliant and beautiful woman might, "that I have no heart..." Apprenticed as a blacksmith with his brother-in-law, Pip yearns to become a wealthy gentleman in order to be worthy of her. and when he learns of the expectations from a secret benefactor for him to be trained in the gentlemanly arts, he goes to London.
