Analysis Of Miss Havisham's Character ♰


This is a mind map that I have done to break down Miss Havisham's character. It helped me to focus on her individual characteristics and help to build a new visual form of that specific person from the book. 

For example, the fact that she was isolated means she stayed at home and didn't meet up with anyone outside her house... This would affect her physical appearance as it means she should be pale as she did not expose herself to sunlight and socially deprived, because she stopped exposing herself to that too. This would make her anxious, which could mean marks on her skin, a specific posture. A different posture would be a good way of showing for example an eating problem that Miss Havisham was very likely to experience as stress and anxiety are factors that could highly influence that. 

I see that character as a very ghostly looking one but with visible pain on the face... By this I mean, visible veins, a lot of wrinkles, especially in the eye area, as this would show she cried so many times. I see her hair as quite white,messy, with old wedding decorations/pieces in places.
