Classics · Great Expectations, Charles Dickens, 1861
Who does Estella marry in Great Expectations?
Estella marries Bentley Drummle, the sulky, cruel man Pip knew as a student, and Pip can't stop it.
She tells Pip to his face, in front of Miss Havisham. The marriage is unhappy: Pip later hears that she separated from him because of his cruelty, and that he died after mistreating a horse.
“I am going to be married to him.”
“I had heard of the death of her husband, from an accident consequent on his ill-treatment of a horse.”
