Estella is constantly abusive of our hero, and he is fine with it as long as he can be with her. But in this instance, Estella wishes Pip to know that the proof behind her care of him lies in the fact that she does not trap him as she does so many others. He takes this to mean that she doesn't like him while in fact it shows that she respects him too much to lie to him. She poorly explains this however, as Pip still believes her to have a heart despite her protests to the contrary. He fails to see that while she shows favor to all her suitors but him, they all fade away as quickly as a passing breeze, while he remains. In a year she will not remember any of their names, but Pip and her will always be friends. He lacks the wisdom to see this however, and is ill content with his position in her life, viewing himself as forever stuck in the "friend zone" with a girl that he loves.
