'You cannot love him, Estella.You would never marry him?'

Why not you will never marry him?

' Why not you will never marry him? 'Would' puts it clearly into the realm of the hypothetical, the 'not possible'. That's why I'd say I would never jump out of a plane without a parachute and carrying an anvil rather than I will never jump out of a plane without a parachute and carrying an anvil.
