Pip learns that his choices affect not only himself but others around him through interacting with Estella. By interacting with Estella and hearing the nasty comments she makes about his upbringing, Pip attempts to change himself from an ordinary boy to an uncommon scholar. Pip had at first felt ashamed of himself when Estella had made fun of him for calling the knaves, Jacks while playing a card game, and also when she told him that he has coarse hands and thick boots(p.g.55). Pip mentioned that he never thought of being ashamed of his hands before and that due to Estella's contempt for him, he now thought that his hands were not good enough(p.g.55). This implies that Pip thinks that he was not brought up well enough and that he is beginning to doubt himself.
