Character Movie/Interview

Memorable Quotation:
(Pip to Estella) "You are part my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then."

Pip's words show intense love for Estella. He loves Estella from the bottom of his heart and this quote illustrates that. It also seems that Pip is begging Estella to show any type of affection back to Pip.
