Answer:

HERE YOU GO

Explanation:

In Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens, Miss Havisham is a complex

character whose past remains a mystery. We know about her broken

engagement, an event that changes her life forever. Miss Havisham

desperately wants revenge, and Estella, her adopted daughter, is the

perfect tool to carry out her motives. With her plan of revenge in

mind, Miss Havisham deliberately raises Estella to avoid emotional

attachment and treat those who love her with cruelty. A specific quote

in the book, where Miss Havisham tells Pip that he must love Estella

at all costs, sheds light on Miss Havisham's vengeful character. One

can draw parallels from the life of Miss Havisham to the life that she

wants to force on someone else for revenge. Miss Havisham was used,

she was wounded, and she will never be whole again.
