Parallels Between Miss H. and Pip

The more I contemplate the similarities between Pip and Miss H., the more convinced I become that Dickens is reiterating an important theme for a reason.
This theme is, mainly, heart-break. Although the theme is easy enough to understand as it is told throughout the book, it takes on a more complicated form when you compare the heart-breaking experiences of Pip to Miss H.'s. Both are spurned by the person they love the most and both begin that love with hope; a hope that is fueled by denial until it is completely crushed. The main difference between their experiences is that Miss H. had no control over the outcome of her heart-breaking experience, whereas Pip willingly continues his pointless courtship, although he is fighting against an outcome that has been insured in so many ways. He fights against many years of taught harshness and coldness; he fights a heart that refuses to succumb to love.It is perhaps this difference that leaves the reactions between Pip and Miss H. to part ways. Miss H. abandons love and revenges herself on the world, eventually leaving the world a broken person. Pip, although by no means happy, eventually accepts the inevitable. Anybody else have thoughts on this topic?
