On the last page of chapter 42, Herbert says: "Young Havisham's name was Arthur. Compeyson is the man who professed to be Miss Havisham's lover." Yet, earlier, "Compeyson's wife" was mentioned and so it leads me to believe that Compeyson cheated on either Mrs. Havisham with his wife..? Or on his wife with Mrs. Havisham - but then where does "Young Havisham" play in? And who is he; what's his connection to Havisham - is he her brother, or nephew?
These are a couple of the many questions that I've had while reading this book. But I'm not sure if they're even answerable at this point - perhaps they'll be answered at the end of the book..
