Estella in great expectations is the adopted daughter of the eccentric character Miss Havisham. Miss Havisham brings her up possibly to cure her loneliness but also to manipulate and use as a weapon to break Men's hearts as she has been left bitter and twisted after being jilted at the alter by Compeyson. Estella is a beautiful young woman whom Pip soon falls in love with, yet because of the nature of her upbringing she grows up to become a cold hearted, human being detached from any emotion not only from men but also her own adoptive mother Miss Havisham. Although unable to love, Estella does warn Pip of her lack of ability to feel and her talent for toying with others emotions. Estella has been portrayed by many actresses over the years in many adaptations of the novel some of whom include; Holliday Granger and Kim Thomson.
