Bentley Drummle

Character Analysis

Bentley Drummle is Pip’s lifelong nemesis. He’s mean, haughty, and abrasive. Oh, and did we mention, rich? Jaggers actually likes Drummle, but tells Pip to stay away from him. Jaggers gives him the name, "the spider," which we think is sweet, sweet justice. Drummle eventually marries Estella, to Pip’s great anguish, and he becomes an abusive husband. He dies while mistreating a horse.
