Miss Havisham Portrayals

Portrayals of Miss Havisham

If you haven't read 'Great Expectations' and was just looking at images of Miss Havisham you would probably think she was someone out of a mental hospital. Or even you might mistake her as an elderly lady with no family to help look after her.

Its not just her appearance that gives this impression but also her surroundings.

Miss Havisham's character has been in her wedding gown since she was jilted at the alter. Her wedding table is still laid and covered in dust and cobwebs.
