Question About a Passage

My question is from chapter 29 on page 238 when Estella says that she "doesn't have a heart" and Pip thinks, " What was it that was borne in upon my mind when she stood still and looked attentively at me? Anything that I had seen in Miss Havisham?...And yet i could not trace this to Miss Havisham. I looked again, and though she was still looking at me, the suggestion was gone. What was it."

My question is about the feeling that Pip suddenly gets when Estella says that. I don't quite understand why he got that feeling. It seems as though every time he sees her he gets that feeling. I don't understand why he gets it and where it came from.

If anyone could give me a little information on why this suddenly happened to Pip that would be cool.

  1. I think that Pip is in a way offended by how Estella feels when she says those things about herself. Pip thinks that she is not that way, so that's why he reacts like that. That's just my opinion but it's probably wrong.
