In this essay I will talk about whether one reader can feel sympathy for Estella and Miss Havisham in the story of great expectations.

I am going to first talk about Miss Havisham. Miss Havisham is an old lady who looks after Estella, but she seems so strange and this was said so by Pip when he described Miss Havisham as, “the strongest lady I have ever ever seen or shall ever see”. This destined miss Havisham looked strange to Pip although she was dressed in rich materials. Pip also never wanted to tell his sister the way Miss Havisham looked like because she appeared weird in a way that is sister wouldn’t believe him.

She never showed care for example when she let Estella being rude to Pip and also for her plan to make Pips heart broken like what happened to herself when her fiancé never turned up on the wedding. She also treats Pip as someone who is stupid and this is ungrateful and disrespectful because if you ask for assistance you should respect any one who volunteers to help.

Miss Havisham as the older person should be more responsible and teach Estella good values and principles.

Miss Havisham did a very big mistake because she exposed what ...
