Great expectations 2nd ending?

Question

Is there any justice in Pip and Estella finally developing a bond at the end of the book and having a possible chance of ending up with each other or should they part forever as in the original ending?

Answer 1

Pip and Estella's love relationship was never meant to be. Estella's hate for men was so internalized by her "schooling" that she will never be able to have a normal relationship without feeling miserable. However, I think that their relationship in the end is better because at least they will be able to enjoy each other's company without feeling obligated to live a life of lies and misconceptions.
