Super-Lawyer saves the day! Or does he?

Pip, desolate that he will never be able to rise above his station in life is thrilled by the fact that Mr. Jaggers has declared him the heir to a sizable fortune and that his benefactor has decided for him to go to London to train as a gentleman. Pip immediately assumes that this means Miss Havisham has changed her mind and now wants him to be a gentleman so that he may court Estella, despite Jaggers' warning to not do so. This is merely wishful thinking on Pip's part, as the only basis for his case being that Mr. Jaggers is also the lawyer of Ms. Havisham. It is merely wishful thinking on his part, as Estella has already told him that they can never be together as she has no heart. Despite this he loves her all the more strongly, and ignores the good advice of those close to him to forget about Estella and move on. But Alas! He is irrevocably stuck in her web.
