Based on evidence in the excerpt from Great Expectations, what can you infer about the subplot of Estella and her relationship with the narrator?

Hello. You did not inform the excerpt to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will help you in the best possible way.

"Great Expectations" was written by Charles Dickens and tells the story of Pip, a poor boy who is fortunate enough to be sponsored by someone mysterious, who makes him rich. Pip falls in love with Estella, a rich, educated and beautiful girl, who was created to seduce men and destroy their hearts, being very cold and cruel to any suitor. Within this subplot, Estella seems very satisfied and likes to be admired, but never conquered. When we analyze her behavior with Pip, although she does not seem to be in love with him, she seems to admire him in a way, as she treats him with a cordiality that she does not present to any other man, besides considering him a pleasant company.
