Fridge / Great Expectations

• The ending makes a ton of sense in retrospect, and here is why: having Estella marry some random doctor is an unsatisfactory cop-out. Pip and Estella have to end up together because Miss Havisham messed them both up so much that they're the only ones who can possibly understand each other. They deserve each other. Really.
• Trivial note: if Miss Havisham has really been wearing the very same dress (not just copies thereof) for at least twenty years, how is it still in wearable condition and not just rotting rags?
  • Possibly, the Theseus' Ship Paradox could apply.
