What type of attitude was Mr Jaggers displaying in Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
I was beginning to express my gratitude to my benefactor for the great liberality with which I was treated, when Mr. Jaggers stopped me. "I am not paid, Pip," said he, coolly, "to carry your words to any one;" and then gathered up his coat-tails, as he had gathered up the subject, and stood frowning at his boots as if he suspected them of designs against him.

When the offer comes, Pip is disillusioned with his future as a blacksmith. Because of the time he spends with Miss Havisham and Estella, he is ashamed of his common origins and his "lowly" position. Estella scorns him, and he has a major crush on her, so he doesn't want her to have any reason to scorn him. He already thinks often about becoming a gentleman so that he is worthy of Estella.

Miss Havisham is initially described as unforgiving as she was enraged when her intended (later revealed as Compeyson) "heartlessly breaks off the wedding". Compeyson was allied with Miss Havisham's brother, Arthur, and made love to Miss Havisham, gaining her trust and vast amounts of fortune. He allegedly shared the profits with her brother.
Throughout much of the novel, she uses Estella, an orphan who she raised to become an entrancingly beautiful aristocratic lady, to destroy the hearts of the men Estella attracts.
Miss Havisham first experiments her creation on Pip, the story's main protagonist. After noting successful attempts at damaging Pip emotionally, she sends Estella off to wander and break the hearts of other men. Pip, however, is unfazed and fruitlessly continues to chase after Estella.
Near the end of her life, Miss Havisham realizes the horror she had made Estella into when she sees the love in Pip's eyes stating that it was an emotion "[she herself] had forgotten". She begs Pip to forgive her, when her wedding dress catches on fire. She is saved by Pip, but later dies of her injuries.
