One more "Great Expectations" question... for today?

Question

Estella's behavior toward Pip is so high-handed and proud that he feels?

A)like a gentleman
B)hurt and humiliated
C)bitter hatred toward her
D)a desire for revenge

I'm pretty sure it's NOT C or D. I think it's A, but it could be B.

Answer 1

The answer is B.

The expectations that cause Pip's character to become less likable are those that he develops after being introduced to Miss Havisham and Estella. During his first visit to the Satis House, Estella, who considers herself much too refined and well-bred to associate with a common boy, scorns Pip. On the other hand, Pip seems to fall in love with Estella during that first meeting. He even admits to Miss Havisham that he thinks her adopted daughter is not only "very proud" and "very insulting," but also "very pretty" and that he should "like to see her again" (p. 59). After just one afternoon at the Satis House, Pip develops a desire to become more acceptable to Estella, in hopes that her callous attitude toward him would change.

Answer 2

Compassion- think of of it this way, each and each species alive at present is barely alive because of the fact it observed an consumer-friendly rule.....Survival of the Fittest. that's the place purely the good survived for this reason continually convalescing the species to evolve and thrive. even although human beings are the only exception by using morality. We experience guilt, we could desire to help. by helping human beings stay longer, treatment illnesses and take care of injuries we are effectively scuffling with nature. In Nature those with vulnerable features which includes a limp so as that they are able to't hunt, might die off for this reason their genes are actually not exceeded on, even although that's no longer the case at present. Now i'm no longer advocating letting purely the good proceed to exist. i'm only putting forward that if we proceed our course, our gene pool will grow to be so muddied with inadequate genes that we are going to easily fail as a species and finally die. no longer excellent battles, purely a sluggish loss of existence the place the few greater healthful human beings can basically no longer sustain particularly everyone else. unhappy isnt it?

Answer 3

I proabably say B,

Estella never treated Pip very well so it would make sense if he felt hurt.

Answer 4

B, right?
