Estella warned him that although she did not want to break his heart she was raised to hate men and could not help her heart being cold and not willing to love. Herbert warned him about her upbringing--hating men.
Herbert warns Pip about the true intentions of Bentley Drummle towards Estella. He advises Pip to be cautious and not trust Drummle's motives, as he may not have Estella's best interests at heart. Herbert also warns Pip to be wary of Drummle's volatile and aggressive nature.
Herbert Pocket...
In Charles Dickens' novel "Great Expectations," Herbert Pocket admires Estella's beauty and character but he does not want to marry her himself. He helps his close friend Pip pursue a relationship with Estella despite knowing the challenges they may face. Herbert supports Pip's love for Estella and values their friendship.
Estella tells Pip that she is going to marry Drummle. Pip is greatly upset by this news because he is in love with Estella and was hoping to have a future with her.
Herbert reveals to Pip many secrets, such as that Miss Havisham's groom was Compeyson, (Magwitch's crime partner), that Magwitch is Estella's father, and the scandal that was planned between Arthur (Miss Havisham's stepbrother) and Compeyson.
