Scene Summary and Context Guide
In Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations, Estella is introduced as the beautiful yet aloof ward of Miss Havisham. Her character is designed to embody both elegance and emotional detachment. Dickens describes her with precise language that emphasizes her striking appearance and cold demeanor. For example, Dickens notes, 'Her eyes were gray and her expression was inscrutable.' The narrative explores themes of social class, beauty, and emotional complexity, often using vivid descriptions and character-specific diction. Dickens employs techniques such as imagery and tone to deepen the reader's understanding of Estella's personality, highlighting her role as both a symbol of beauty and a reflection of Miss Havisham's own bitterness. Throughout the novel, Dickens carefully crafts her character through various stylistic devices, making her a pivotal figure in Pip's development. This passage provides an overview of her portrayal and the literary techniques Dickens uses to evoke her personality.
