Estella Havisham
Estella Havisham, better known simply as Estella, is a complex and fascinating character in Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations. She is introduced as an orphan, but unlike the protagonist, Pip, who is raised by his sister and her husband to become a blacksmith, Estella is adopted and raised by the wealthy and eccentric Miss Havisham to become a lady.
Estella is a beautiful and intelligent young woman, but she is also cold and heartless. She has been molded by Miss Havisham to be a cruel and manipulative creature, and she takes great pleasure in tormenting Pip. However, despite her harsh exterior, Estella is also capable of love and compassion. She eventually falls in love with Pip, but their relationship is doomed from the start. Estella is unable to break free from Miss Havisham's influence, and she ultimately rejects Pip in favor of a wealthy and titled man.
Estella is a tragic figure, but she is also a powerful one. She is a survivor who has overcome great adversity to become a strong and independent woman. She is a reminder that even the most difficult circumstances cannot destroy the human spirit.
