'Great Expectations' - Pip confronts Miss Havisham

From the 1999 adaptation of 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens. Pip visits a deteriorating Miss Havisham to question her about Estella and her upbringing. Pip is clearly a changed man and the roles have noticeably reversed between these two characters. He confronts Miss Havisham using powerful language and explains Estella's current predicament, which ironically reflects that of Miss Havisham. Clearly distressed by this news, Miss Havisham sets fire to herself and her crumbling mansion.
