The first paragraph of chapter 50 describes how and where Pip was burned by the fire at Miss Havisham's, and I found it slightly odd that he described only the physical aspects of the burns. He said nothing about how he felt- if he regretted saving Miss Havisham or if he thought the burns were completely worth it.
On page 408, while Herbert is thoughtfully wrapping Pip's burns with bandages, Herbert is constantly asking Pip if he is ok with the bandaging or if he is in pain, but Pip pays no attention to him because all he can think about is finding the truth. I found it comical how Herbert was trying to be kind, but Pip just brushed him off, instead telling Herbert to continue with the story.
I thought Jaggers would have known that Provis was Estella's father, as he had defended her mother in a case. Also, he had helped the man and I thought it was because of Molly/Estella. (page 409)
On page 416, Jaggers explains how Molly let Estella go. But I still don't understand why Molly had to let Estella go- yes, Estella is "saved" even if Molly is not, but didn't it lead to the court thinking that Molly had killed Estella?
On page 418, it really shows how snappish and uptight Wemmick is in the office when Mike walks in, and I found it funny, yet disturbing at the same time.
I don't understand the note on page 420.
On page 423, when Pip is asking about Pumblechook and Joe, I felt- from Pip's point of view- superior towards them, possibly towards their absence in the book and possibly the way Pip asked about them.
Does the landlord not recognize Pip? Because he speaks of him. (Page 423)
