An imagine Charles Dickens has left in my mind is Miss. Havisham. I see this faceless, all bone, yellow skinned lady wearing one shoe and a wedding dress. Miss. Havisham was originally described on page 47 and she was described as a weary, wore down woman and I was having fun imagining this peculiar lady. I see her like Maleficent, because she was written as very boney, again on page 47. I just imagine her cheekbones being very prominent, like Maleficent. I also see her like looking kind of deranged because on page 47 Dickens wrote; "She uttered the word with a eager look, and with a weird smile". I think the weird smile part is what lead me to believe she looks deranged. I can't see her face, but I can see her features like; sunken eyes, that

Also as Pip tries to put out the fire they both lose pieces of clothing and that is supposed to represent the confetti at the wedding.

Furthermore, leaving her in an agony. Consequently, that agony and misery turned into hatred towards men. When Miss Havisham employs Pip to play with Estella, Pip sees an " old brick and dismal " house which reflective the owner.

Fire is a symbol for many different things. It represents warmth, purity, punishment, desire, and destruction in many cases. However, in the novel, 'Great Expectations,' fire stands for three very different things, and they are used repeatedly throughout the play. The symbolism of the fire in Miss Havisham;s home could stand for a suicide attempt, Miss Havisham's life, or Miss Havisham's passion. Many believe that Miss Havisham's dress catching fire could have been a suicide attempt, because she is continuously showing remorse about how bad she feels about the way she has lived and treated those around her, especially Estella.

Havisham is a story which was played and expressed by Miss Havisham. The character Miss Havisham is a name of a character from Charles Dickens, Great Expectations. Throughout the poem she expresses her feelings about the man who had left her at the altar and how it affected her. In the poem there are mixed feelings one minute she remembers her future husband in her sexual dream and the next the poem is violent and wants him dead. Duffy exposes many hidden sides of Miss Havisham such as her pain, her fantasies overall adding depth too her character.

Everyone experiences pain, a universal feeling; how someone deals with that pain reflects their character. While pain is unavoidable, suffering is subjective. In Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations, the main protagonist, Pip, meets a wealthy lady named Miss Havisham and her adoptive daughter, Estella. When Pip first encounters Miss Havisham, he notices that, despite being dressed in bridal attire, she resembles a corpse. Dickens intentionally named her Havisham to emphasize that regardless of her wealth and elegant possessions, she endures a life of misery and sorrow.

The novel, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, uses the symbolism of fire during the incident at Miss Havisham's home. This symbolism represented many things, mainly Miss Havisham's personality and her life.

Symbolism is very important in literature as it helps readers to understand a literary work very easily. Dickens has used a number of symbols in his novel “Great Expectations.” Dickens has used the symbol of fire in different scenes in the novel, each with a different meaning. The fire incident at Miss Havisham’s home symbolizes purification and punishment of Miss Havisham and Pip. In fact, Miss Havisham was the one on fire, not her home as she was "shrieking, with a whirl of fire blazing all about her ...." (Chapter 49). It can be described as the fire of awareness, of experience and of commitment to life that produce a distinctive influence on Miss Havisham and Pip.

The fire in Miss Havisham's home means a a lot to Great Expectations. Miss Havisham is a sort of foster parent to Estella. Due to this, she serves a major role in the book. Towards the end of the book, Miss Havisham begins to wither away as she gets old. It's explained in a horrifically sad way for other characters such as Pip, as he takes interest in this and is there as it happens.

The most predominant themes illustrated both throughout my section and comic strip are lies and deceit, and love. Some of the best quotes to represent the theme of love is, “All I wanted for you was to love, Estella…” and “I must see Estella.” Both correlate directly to each other and the theme of love, because both emphasize one character’s devotion -love- towards another character. In this case, Mrs. Havisham loves Estella, and wishes that she finds love; whereas the latter quote presents itself as a moment where Pip expresses his love and devotion towards Estella. Therefore, it is quite obvious to the viewer that there is a teeming amount of love revolving around Estella; though, Estella does not wish to love anyone as a result of her antipathetic upbringing.
