Pip and Estella .

[Realizations and Predictions]

Estella, who had always been obedient and under Miss Havisham's control, suddenly opposes her master in chapter 38.
"You should know,"said Estella. "I am what you have made me. Take all the praise, take all the blame; take all the success, take all the failure; in short, take me." (p.304)

Estella realizes that she had been taken advantage of all along and is finally fed up; leaving her feeling infuriated and resentful. She has reached realization where she wants to become more independent and no longer wants to be used by Miss Havisham as a revenge to men. I believe Miss Havisham will learn to understand Estella, who is longing freedom, and let her go. Estella may be able to make her own path and future, thus finding true love and freedom to love or reject whoever she likes.
Pip has finally come to his senses and realizes that he does not have any chance of being with Estella. Her perfect beauty had blinded him all along; denying his ability to see her true image and bad characteristics. I think he will discover that Estella is not for him, and he will stop trying to become someone that he is not for her.

[ Name Description ]

The name Pumblechook reveals the character's personality. "Pumble" is very similar to "pubble", which means pudgy or fat. "Chook" is a slang term used to call pigs.

"It's five-and-twenty pound, Mum," echoed that basest of swindlers, Pumblechook, rising to shake hands with her; "and it's no more than your merits (as I said when my opinion was asked), and I wish you joy of the money!" (p.104)

This quote is stated after Pip brings home his earnings from Mrs. Havisham. This shows how Uncle Pumblechook loves money and wealth and is greedy like a pig. Therefore, the name pumblechook, similar to the definition of being a pig, describes his personality.
