Miss Havisham Analysis

Miss Havisham is a bitter wealth vengeful women, this is all because she was left at the alter. She spends her days in a wilted wedding dress surrounded by a decaying mansion. Her whole life is defined by one tragic event. The man who she loved and idolized was Compeyson which later in the book we meet. After being jilted on her wedding day she decides to never move on and adopts Estella to use as a weapon against men. She raises Estella to never love so that she can never be broken hearted like her. She stops all the clocks on exact time she was left at the alter.

My thoughts of Miss Havisham

  • Bitter
  • Sad/Lonely
  • Broken 
  • Twisted
  • Vengeful
  • Rick/Wealthy
  • Spinster
  • Privileged
  • Outcast
