different meanings. The quality of being frank,
open, or outspoken along with the absence of
necessity, coercion, or constraint are just some

Miss Havisham And Estella Pip And Joe

Estella Havisham: Most readers are appalled at the
cold-hearted and cruel ways of Estella, but any
criticism directed at her is largely undeserved.
She was simply raised in a controlled environment
where she was, in essence, brainwashed by Miss
Havisham. Nonetheless, her demeanor might lead one
to suspect that she was a girl with a heart of
ice. Estella is scornful from the moment she is
introduced, when she remarks on Pips coarse hands
and thick boots. However, her beauty soon
