I also don’t feel sympathy for Miss Havisham she lives with Estella and as my point of view Miss Havisham is the one who has influenced Estella to be rude because Miss Havisham should have taught Estella have a good behavior and not being rude to other people or treat other people badly like dogs because treating other people badly will result in the people exposing bad things to you. 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 she is all about. She exposed how strange she is, which is bad because a lot of people may end up avoiding Miss Havisham’s house since her house is strange. Her house is unwelcoming because there is no light in her house and her house isn’t clean after a long time without cleaning.
Although I don’t feel sympathy for Miss Havisham because as I read in the book of great expectations it seems as if miss Havishams man to be denied her when they were about to go for a wedding because Pip said,” she was dressed in rich materials satins, lace and silks of white”, which shows that she was wearing these clothes because she wanted to remember her lost marriage. Pip also said,” a long table with a table cloth spread on it as if a feast had been in preparation when the house clock and all the other clocks stopped together”. This also shows that a wedding was about to be launched but every thing stopped because her fiancé denied her. So I feel sympathy for Miss Havisham because Miss Havisham lost her beloved one who she was about to get married to and she was disappointed because they were in the last stage of their marriage, and she never got married to any one else .Her heart was broken because she was not expecting anything like that but that wouldn’t be the reason for her to influence Estella to break Pips heart like what happened to her.
As a conclusion to Miss Havisham I think that the way her fiancé denied her on the wedding affected her attitude because when her fiancé denied her she was embarrassed and this made her to act weird, but in some circumstances I don’t feel sympathy for her because she wanted Pips heart to be broken like hers but using Estella to break his heart. When her fiancé ran away from her she only wanted to revenge and that’s what I think because she wanted Pips heart to be broken by Estella on their wedding.
I am now going to write about Estella a girl who lives with Miss Havisham. Estella is a young lady and she is in Pips age group, but she is rude to other people due to the way Miss Havisham treats her.
At first when Pip went to Miss Havishams house, the first time he got to the house Estella looked like she was good because of the words she said” you could drink without hurt all the strong beer that is brewed in there boy”, which showed that she was a good person but you cant judge a book by its cover instead Estella is a girl who has lived with Miss Havisham and because of that Estella will be just doing like what Miss Havisham does because Miss Havisham is the one who sets an example for Estella.
I feel sympathy for Estella because Miss Havisham made her not be good and kind this is revealed when Estella said,” and what coarse hands he has”, and this made Pip feel ashamed of his hands and Miss Havisham didn’t tell Estella that it wasn’t good to say that to someone and she also denounced Pip a stupid labouring boy and Miss Havisham didn’t even say anything to Estella instead she asked him” what do you think of her?”.This shows that she wanted Pip to say something bad to Estella but she didn’t tell Estella that it wasn’t good. All this explain that Miss Havisham didn’t care about teaching Estella the good behavior and the good words to use to other people. I feel sympathy for Estella because it’s not her fault but its all because of Miss Havisham and her aim to break other people’s hearts.
I do feel sympathy for Estella in some circumstances but I don’t feel sympathy for her because of the attitude and behavior she applied to Pip, like when she was walking with Pip in the dark passage and then she stopped at that time asked him questions that Miss Havisham had asked before then slapped him in his face. It was a bad strategy because she should have talked to her politely and I think it is also bullying because she is the one who started to insult Pip and he never said anything back to her. This was an example as someone who has got good behavior because he never gave back all the bad things that Estella had said to him.
Estella treated Pip like a dog and she did this when she gave Pip food in the yard and she put the mug down on the stones of the yard and not looking at him. This was said by Pip” she put the mug down on the stones of the yard and gave me the bread and meat without looking at me insolently as if I were a dog “, this showed that she didn’t care for him.
My conclusion to Estella is that she was made rude by Miss Havisham but Estella is a girl who was going to be a good friend but in their aim to break Pips heart.
This essay that I have written is from chapter 8-11 and it mainly tells about Miss Havisham, Estella and Pip from the book of Great Expectations.
