“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but – I hope – into a better shape.”

This appears in Charles dickens Great Expectations  in Chapter 59. this is where pip goes back after 11 years to visit Joe and biddy and it has brought back memories about whats happend over his life.

This quote comes form when Pip meets Estella and they both start talking about how they feel. Pip always loved Estella since he met her at Ms Haversham. Pip kept his feelings from Estella because thought he was not intelligent or posh enough for her. This shows in the words form the “Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching”.

“I was always treated as if I had insisted on being born in opposition to the dictates of reason, religion, and morality, and against the arguments of my best friends.” Chapter 4

This shows that Pip has a sense of guilt on having been born. As if his presence is an affront to nature itself. An interesting way also for saying that the world despises his very existence….

“There have been occasions in my later life (I suppose as in most lives) when I have felt for a time as if a thick curtain had fallen on all its interest and romance, to shut me out from anything save dull endurance any more. Never has that curtain dropped so heavy and blank, as when my way in life lay stretched out straight before me through the newly-entered road of apprenticeship to Joe.” Chapter 14
