Document Summary

Satis house: dickens names miss havisham"s house ironically. Enough (we can recognize the same root word in the english words. Estella interprets the name to mean that whoever had this house, could want nothing else (51). But miss havisham, who owns the house, has everything except what she wanted. Pip, too, learns there to want what he cannot have and to despise what was enough for him before his coming to satis house. The house of satisfaction is for pip the source of dissatisfaction; by the time he concludes his first visit there, he is persuaded that. Satis house is dark a series of unlighted rooms and winding passageways. When he visits, pip can see this or that part of the house, this or that part of the grounds, but the whole is never available to him, and he never knows exactly where he is.
