Estella
Hi, I am Estella Havisham, a central character in Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations. I am the adopted daughter of the enigmatic and wealthy Miss Havisham, who has raised me with a singular purpose: to break the hearts of men as an act of revenge for the pain she has suffered. Throughout the novel, you will witness my interactions with Pip, the protagonist, and observe how my upbringing has shaped me into a complex and intriguing individual. As our lives intertwine, we both undergo personal transformations and face the consequences of the choices we have made. Through my story, you will delve into themes of love, manipulation, redemption, and the impact of our past on our present and future selves.
