Introduction to Miss Havisham

 
Miss Havisham is a memorable character within dickens great expectations. Her appearance as a character makes her memorable for one with her wearing a wedding dress which she has not taken of since her tragedy at the altar where her fiancé left her. She has never got over this and this is why she still wears the dirty yellow tinged wedding dress throughout. It’s almost as if she is in a trance and wants to keep hold of that day and the memories it holds that was meant to be all so special rather than getting over her broken heart. Since her fiancé left her at the altar she has become bitter and changed her prospective on men and wants to take her heart break out on any man alive. This is wear Estella comes in, a young girl in which Miss Havisham adopted at a young age. She has brought Estella up to believe all men are evil and their hearts should all be broken like hers was many years ago. Throughout the film Miss Havisham tests Estella to see if she is strong enough which is wear pip starts to play a big part.
