Miss Havisham
Miss Havisham is a very complex character created by Dickens. She is the adopted mother of Estella and has never married, but she almost did. Early in Miss Havisham's life she was going to get married to a man but on the day of their wedding, he left her at the alter with only a letter of explanation of why he wasn't there. She was miserable and heartbroken and she devoted her life to making Estella a heart-breaker for many man as revenge against all men. She wears her wedding dress everyday and her house, the Satis House, is a mess. She still has food from the wedding and all her clocks are set to the time she was left at the alter. Although she was unkind to Pip at first, she helped him succeed and truly felt sorry after Estella was to be engaged to Drummle.
