Things are starting to look up for Great Expectations... I am sorry I doubted you Mr. Dickens.
The character development of Miss. Havisham is done really well, she the picture of a jilted woman. In her wedding dress for years, her clocks and all time as far as she is concerned has stopped of when the man left her. Although she is strange, I am sure most women can identify with her extreme abandonment issues.
There is explanations of a cake, wedding dress, and all the wedding decorations that have all been left to rot, just as she has. Miss. Havisham is a good person, however has been so hurt in her past that she wants all men to feel the loss that she has. Some sort of cruel retribution.
To get the retribution against Pip, Miss. Havisham seems to use Estella. The pretty girl who answers the door at her estate. It is odd that an elderly lady wants to watch a little boy play cards with the pretty girl, knowing that all she really wants is for Pip to be hurt by Estella, which eventually he is.
All will backfire for Miss. Havisham, all Pip gets from the hurtful things Estella says to him, is that he does not want to be common. He will now only strive to be uncommon, and a gentleman for Estella.
I am looking forward to see what happens!
