Miss Havisham hires Pip and throughout their playtimes he eventually falls in love with Estella.

Prior to moving to Hollywood, she played the young Estella in David Lean's version of Great Expectations ( 1946 ) and Ophelia in Laurence Olivier's Hamlet ( 1948 ), for which she received her first Oscar nomination.

In Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens, Herbert Pocket describes Estella Havisham as a Tartar because she was " hard and haughty and capricious to the last degree, and has been brought up by Miss Havisham to wreak revenge on all the male sex.

Estella Warren was discovered by George Gallier, the owner of American Model Management, in 1994 when she was a synchronized swimmer living in Ontario.

While wishing Estella never to suffer as she had at the hands of a man was Miss Havisham's original goal, it changed as Estella grew older:

Miss Havisham repents late in the novel when Estella leaves to marry Pip's rival, Bentley Drummle ; and she realises that she has caused Pip ’ s heart to be broken in the same manner as her own ; rather than achieving any kind of personal revenge, she has only caused more pain.

The last words she speaks in the novel are ( in a delirium ) to Pip, referencing both Estella and a note she, Miss Havisham, has given him with her signature: " Take the pencil and write under my name, ' I forgive her!

However, despite rallying for a time, she dies a few weeks later, leaving Estella as her chief beneficiary, and a considerable sum to Herbert Pocket, as a result of Pip's reference.

In 1967 she played Estella in a television adaptation of Great Expectations.

The next year, 1989, she played Estella in a film of Great Expectations directed by Kevin Connor, with Jean Simmons, who had played Estella in the 1946 film, as Miss Havisham.

One of the possible meanings of this is that Estella, even though she doesn't acknowledge the fact, loves Pip.

The manner in which Estella was brought up saw that she would undergo strong emotional suppression and is unable to identify her own feelings, let alone express them.

In a way, Estella is a character to be pitied, and even through her actions, we can see that she is still a victim of Miss Havisham's cruel vengeance.

Estella warns Pip that she cannot love him, or anyone.

He relentlessly pursues Estella, though her warm expressions of friendship are firmly countered by her insistence that she cannot love him.

This exchange suggests that Estella feels at least a modicum of love for Pip, as does the fact that in his presence, she never pretends to be anything but what she is.

Though Estella marries Drummle in the novel and several adaptations, she does not marry him in the best-known 1946 film adaptation.

* The South Park episode Pip features an incarnation of Estella ( as it does all of the major characters from " Great Expectations ").

* Estella Warren as Jessie: A zoologist who helps the Brooklyn duo get the money and is Charlie's love interest.

He harbours intense love for the latter, though he has been warned that Estella has been brought up by Miss Havisham to inspire love, unrequited in the men around her, to avenge the latter's disappointment at being jilted on her wedding day ( cf.

Miss Havisham herself decries this coldness, for Estella is not even able to love her benefactress.

Even after witnessing this scene, Pip continues to live in anguished and fruitless hope that Estella will return his love.

Estella says that she has no heart, and cannot love.

Estella finally declares her love for Pip.

Pip imagines how Estella would look down upon Joe's hands, roughened by work in the smithy, and the deliberate contrast between her white hands and his blackened ones is made to symbolize the opposition of values between which Pip struggles -- idleness and work, artificiality and naturalness, gentility and commonness, coldness and affection -- in fact, between Satis House and the forge.

The original version, in which Pip and Estella do not get together, remains as a note in most editions.

The character Estella, Miss Havisham's adopted daughter, describes the name to Pip, the protagonist, this way:

Pip, the narrator, is the eventual victim ; and Miss Havisham readily dresses Estella in jewels to prettify her all the more and to exemplify all the more the vast social gulf between her and Pip.

It is this that drives Pip to ultimately agree to become a gentleman, and when, as a young adult, Estella leaves for France to receive education, Miss Havisham eagerly asks him, " Do you feel you have lost her ?”

Like the protagonist, Pip, Estella is introduced as an orphan, but where Pip was raised by his sister and her husband to become a blacksmith, Estella was adopted and raised by the wealthy and eccentric Miss Havisham to become a lady.

Pip and Estella meet when he is brought to Miss Havisham's ill-kept mansion, Satis House, ostensibly to satisfy the elder Miss Havisham's " sick fancy " to be entertained by watching Pip have his heart broken by Estella.

Pip is fascinated with the lovely Estella, though her heart is as cold as ice.

Estella criticizes Pip's honest but " coarse " ways, and from that point on, Pip grows dissatisfied with his position in life and, eventually, with his former values and friends as well.

Pip spends years as companion to Miss Havisham and, by extension, Estella.

In fact, Pip discovers that Miss Havisham's lessons have worked all too well on Estella ; when both are visiting the elderly woman, Miss Havisham makes gestures of affection towards her adopted daughter and is shocked that Estella is neither able nor willing to return them.

Almost the first step in the corruption of Pip's values is the unworthy shame he feels when Estella cruelly remarks the coarseness of his hands: `` They had never troubled me before, but they troubled me now, as vulgar appendages ''.

Incidentally, one cannot miss the significance of this gesture, for Dickens reintroduces it associatively in Pip's mind at another moral and psychological crisis -- his painful recognition, in a talk with Herbert Pocket, that his hopeless attachment to Estella is as self-destructive as it is romantic.

The vulture-like attendance of the Pocket family upon Miss Havisham is summed up in the hypocritical gestures of Miss Camilla Pocket, who puts her hand to her throat in a feigned spasm of grief-stricken choking, then lays it `` upon her heaving bosom '' with `` an unnatural fortitude of manner '', and finally kisses it to Miss Havisham in a parody of the lady's own mannerism toward Estella.

She is a wealthy spinster who lives in her ruined mansion with her adopted daughter, Estella.

She was eccentric and a dowager with an adopted niece by the name of Eliza who is a perfect model for Estella.

While both Grant and Neill play characters critical to the film's story, the film is really about Estella, who responds to the sensuality of her surroundings over the course of her visit to Lindsay's estate.

Hal Hinson of The Washington Post was less forgiving: he called the ideas presented by the film " warmed-over D. H. Lawrence " and the film, a " peculiar, not entirely undesirable sort of art-house hybrid, like a marriage between Masterpiece Theatre and Baywatch ", citing " scenes, like the one in which Estella is brought to orgasm by the tender, knowing hands of a blind laborer, are almost laughable.
