wear, the things we do, or what we buy, everything has a meaning. Symbolism is

also present in literature and it is shown in Charles Dickens Great Expectations.

The symbols of isolation, manipulation, the tragic hero, and wanting to be

someone else are seen throughout the book through the characters of Estella,

The character of Estella represents the symbols of isolation and manipulation.

By acting as an adult when she was still young, she separated herself from Pip

and others. This was due in large part to the way Miss Havisham, her stepmother,

raised her. She had no emotion, as Miss Havisham used her for revenge on men. On

his first visit to the Satis House, Pip overheard Miss Havisham tell Estella

"Well? You can break his heart." [65]. By doing what Miss Havisham tells her to,

she shows she is just as heartless as her stepmother. She also represents

manipulation in how she played with Pip's feelings, who has strong feelings for

her eventhough he also cannot stand her

with Joe and Biddy, and goes from almost total destruction to moderate business

on. Miss Havisham also illustrates the symbol of manipulation. She had raised

those around me." [305]. He noticed the negative effects as he was in debt
