Miss Havisham is an example of single-minded vengeance pursued destructively: both Miss Havisham and the people in her life suffer greatly because of her quest for revenge. Miss Havisham is completely unable to see that her actions are hurtful to Pip and Estella. She allows her disappointment at being jilted to ruin her life, thus giving the man who spurned her ultimate power over her. In her revenge, which destroys her life, she is like a child who hurts itself in its anger at someone else. She doesn't have relationships, she feeds off people. She wallows in self-pity. She never learns anthing or grows from what happened to her. Is this something you aspire to

she does eventually get it, just before she dies. but all very good points. no, my admiration for the character of miss havisham is not an aspiration. i admire her as a character due to her complexity and the truth of her. she touches me. i feel dickins did an extraordinary thing in his creation of her. and yes, sometimes i deffinately do feel her pain and anger. and i am self-destructive. i admire her and relate to her

I'm not gonna comment on most of your post, b/c it's not my place. But I would like to say that we're ready for you to come home also. Although, I never get to see you when you're home, b/c I work the weekends, it's still nice to know that you're home safe and with someone from our group. Also, I totally understand your feelings about libraries. I love them also, I happen to be sitting in one now. Gosh, I wish I had the time to read all the books in here I would like. Remember when we were kids, I hated to read. That's different now. Now, it's one of my very favorite things to do, if I only had the time. Anyways, myself and Jess miss you! Love ya!!
