Estella..

Miss Havisham was left at the aisle of her wedding day when she was young which left a scar on her for life, leading her to dispise all men. She later adopted a young orphan Estella whos parents had died. Miss Havisham brought Estella up as she would her own, but instead of allowing her to have any love, she instead insisted that she would too grow up to hate all men.

Estella is known as the character to cause discord to a mans heart with her merciless viper personality. She can crunch men under the heel of just one of her pretty satin shoes. She is all powerful and a devastatingly sexy young woman who is the ultimate defence of the argument.

Miss Havisham, Estella’s mentor, has trained her to break boys’ hearts, and her first victim is Great Expectations’ adorable hero Pip. Is she redeemed by his true affections by the end? Dickens couldn’t decide and led onto writing two different endings for her character itself.
