Answer Miss Havisham plays a big part in Pip's life. Dickens portrays her as a woman who was jilted on her wedding day. This event ruined her life. She has stopped all the clocks and sits in her yellowing wedding dress. (1) Dickens describes her in a way which makes me imagine the castle of the White Witch in Narnia, with its frozen statues in the courtyard. (2) Miss Havisham employs Pip to play with Estella, but enjoys watching her mock and shame him. She is happiest when Pip falls in love with Estella, because then she can taunt him that he will never be good enough to have her. (3) Dickens writes: "Miss Havisham repeated, 'If she tears your heart to pieces – love her, love her, love her!'" (4)

By this, he is showing that Miss Havisham wants Estella to break his heart. (5) In the end, however, Estella rejects Miss Havisham as well. Miss Havisham eventually sees that she hurt Pip because she was hurt, and asks his forgiveness. She gets too close to the fire and is burned – in the 19th century, readers would have seen this as God's punishment. (6) In the story of Great Expectations (7), Dickens purposefully portrays Miss Havisham as an 'unreal' character. (8) You can see this in the fact that she wears fantastic clothing and looks like a waxwork. (9) For her, time has stopped; she stopped all her clocks the moment she found out her lover had jilted her, which shows she has not moved on with her life. (10) One possible reason why Dickens portrayed her like this is that he wanted to create an image of a woman who is psychologically damaged. (11) This makes her a character for whom we have sympathy. (12) There were many such people in 19th century England (long before there was mental health care). (13) A number of people have been suggested models for Miss Havisham. For example, Wikipedia suggests Dickens based her on an Australian woman called Eliza Emily Donnithorne. (14) Alternatively, Dickens might have wanted to create a character who was 'distant' and emotionally 'out of touch'. (15) Dickens never got on with his mother, and it is possible he is imagining a parallel between himself and Pip – as children who needed a loving mother but only got a heartless 'user'. (16). (Other paragraphs like this would follow…) Dickens also creates an impression of Miss Havisham for the reader through the words and style in which he writes about her. (17) "Her chest had dropped, so that she stooped; and her voice had dropped, so that she spoke low, and with a dead lull upon her; altogether, she had the appearance of having dropped, body and soul, within and without, under the weight of a crushing blow." One stylistic feature (18) of this passage that is typical of Dickens is the repetition of the word 'dropped'. This portrays Miss Havisham (19) as someone who has lost everything. Poor woman – you cannot drop more wholly than "body and soul, within and without"! (20) The word 'dropped' creates an image in the reader's mind of a woman who is slumped and broken. It makes me think of an old woman in a care home waiting to die. (21) Dickens wanted us to imagine a woman who has lost her hopes, energy, selfesteem, and will to live. The word 'dropped' is especially wonderful (22) because it carries the idea of 'downwards' – into depression, perhaps, or a personal hell. And the reader thinks of lost opportunities – of the beautiful vase smashed on the floor, or the missed cricket catch. (23)
