Pip is introduced to the eccentric Miss Havisham from "summary" of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens - Delphi Classics (Illustrated) by Charles Dickens
One day, Pip is summoned to the grand but decaying Satis House, where he is to play with Estella, the adopted daughter of the mysterious Miss Havisham. As he enters the house, he is immediately struck by the eerie atmosphere — the rooms are dimly lit, covered in dust, and frozen in time. Miss Havisham herself is a strange figure, dressed in a faded wedding gown and wearing one shoe, as if she had been abandoned at the altar. Pip is introduced to this eccentric woman as she sits in her darkened room, surrounded by clocks that have all stopped at twenty minutes to nine. She is bitter and resentful, her once-beautiful face twisted with anger and sorrow. Miss Havisham seems to take pleasure in tormenting Pip, using him as a pawn in her cruel game to break men's hearts.
Despite the unsettling nature of Satis House, Pip finds himself drawn to Estella, who is beautiful but cold and haughty. She has been raised by Miss Havisham to be cruel and disdainful towards men, and she delights in mocking Pip's humble origins and simple manners. Pip is captivated by her beauty and sophistication, but he is also wounded by her scorn and rejection.
Through his interactions with Miss Havisham and Estella, Pip begins to question his own identity and place in the world. He longs to become a gentleman, to rise above his lowly station and win the love of Estella. But as he becomes entangled in the web of lies and deceit that surrounds Satis House, Pip realizes that he may have to sacrifice his true self in order to achieve his dreams.
