Estella finally sees Miss Havisham for who she really is; a heartbroken old puppeteer. And Estella is her puppet. She has been shielded all these years by Miss Havisham's teachings, but not in a good way. She has been shielded from true love and living her own fulfilling life. Because Miss Havisham's life was ruined, another life was ruined too. And this life, belonging to Estella, as I see it cannot be repaired. I don't think she will ever end up with her true love, or will ever even have one. She is forever just a tool to break men's hearts. And to go against that would be to go against all that she grew up with. This is all realized when Estella finally speaks out against her master and makes her feel terrible for what she has done.
Pip finally accepts the fact that he will never be with Estella. He finally realizes that she is permanently damaged from the teachings, and finally can think of her without being tempted by her perfection. He now sees her for what she really is.
