In Great Expectations, Miss Havisham's adopted daughter is named Estella.
Estella Havisham is introduced as an orphan who has been raised by the wealthy, eccentric Miss Havisham at Satis House. Miss Havisham trains her to be socially polished but emotionally cold, using Estella to take revenge on men after being abandoned on her wedding day. Estella therefore becomes central to the novel's exploration of love, class and emotional manipulation.
Pip is fascinated by Estella from their first meeting, especially because her beauty and refinement represent the elevated social world he wants to enter. She repeatedly warns him that she cannot love him, yet Pip continues to pursue her. Estella eventually marries the brutal Bentley Drummle, a choice connected to the destructive lessons she received from Miss Havisham.
A common mix-up is Molly, who is Estella's birth mother, not her first name or adoptive parent. Her father is Abel Magwitch. Dickens's 1861 novel leaves Estella changed by suffering, though the precise emotional resolution differs between the original ending and later adaptations.
