Miss Havisham is the lead role in the story of the Great Expectations. She is a rather unbelievable character but plays a great role in which you can't help but love. She lives in a huge mansion, in which she never leaves. She lives within her wedding dress, due to the trauma she went through with her husband to-be. She realises he was only going to marry her for her great wealth. Ever since that day, she is a lonely woman who never sees daylight. She still has all of the wedding decorations including the cake all set up. She is stuck in a rut of heartbreak and refuses to move on from that day. She stops all of the clocks she owns in her house at twenty to nine which is the moment Compeyson (her ex) leaves.
Through Miss Havisham's madness and heartbreak, she adopts a girl named Estella in which she uses to create revenge upon other men. She is very unaware of the hurt she is causing between other people at her own expenses. Pip falls in love with Estella almost instantly and Miss Havisham is there to make sure Estella breaks his heart.
At the end of the story, Miss Havisham comes to the realisation that she is only causing hurt and pain towards others through her actions and begs forgiveness from Pip.
Miss Havisham seems to be a very confused, upset woman. She feels her intentions are right but they turn out to create more disaster than good.
