Analysis of Miss Havisham character​

One of the most memorable character in the novel ''Great Expectation'' is Miss Havisham. She is a rich dowager , who wears an old wedding dress from the date of her fiance disappeared. Since then she has stopped all Satis House watches at 8:40 and she wears only one shoe, because when she found out about her fiance's betrayal, she still had not managed to get on the second shoe. Since then Miss Havisham has became angry and resentful. She is determined never to move beyond her heartbreak. Even though, Miss Havisham adopts Estella and raises her as a weapon to achieve her own revenge on men. She is full of anger.She hurt Pip and Estella, even though she did not even notice that.
Only at the end of the novel Miss Havisham realized that she smashed the Pip's heart, in the same manner as her own. Then she immediately begs Pip for forgiveness reinforcing the novel’s theme that bad behavior can be redeemed by contrition and sympathy.
Miss Havisham look

Miss Havisham wears an old, ragged wedding dress. Even though, she puts on the bride veil sometimes. I noticed that her skin is pale, drowned in cheeks and dark circles around the eyes like she has never slept. Her lips are cracked and dry and her hair is curly, messy, which is white, grey and black color mix. 
Literally she is a memorable character, because of her exclusive look.
