Estella is the adoptive daughter of Miss Havisham of Sanis House. Unlike her mother Estella is well groomed and put together. Initially Estella's character is the role of a child, my views on her in at this stage is that she appears to be very spoilt and not used to being around other children of her age. I feel she looks down on fellow cast member 'Pip' as he is a lower class citizen to her. She has been moulded by her mother not to love in order never to be heartbroken.
As she grows older her character becomes a lot more laid back, although she still is slyly a bit up herself.
By the time she's an adult id say the story is late Victorian, due to her look. Her hairstyle has changed from being completely pinned up to being loosely ringlet.
I have added two images of Estella, so that if you haven't read 'Great Expectations' you can kind of see the era in which it is set.
