Miss Havisham is an extremely eccentric character. She is a rich and grim lady who lived in a large and dismal house. One way she was eccentric was the Satis House. Another is the weird birthday party Miss Havisham had with her relatives. She also acts in a weird way that tells her apart from the rest. Miss Havisham’s house is a dark and spooky house.
Inside the house all the furniture were antiques as well as the clocks. One of the strange things were that all the clocks in the room had stopped at twenty minutes to nine. Outside there was a pigeon-house in the brewery yard, which had been blown crooked on its pole by a high wind. There were no pigeons in the house, no horses in the stable, no pigs in the sty, no malt in the store house, no smell of grain and beer in the copper or the vat.
A strange thing happened to Pip when he was in the brewery yard. He looked over to were the building was on his right and saw a figure hanging there by the neck. He saw a faded trimming dress and afterwards saw the face of Miss Havisham. With terror Pip ran away from it, then ran towards it. He went only to find no figure there. Miss Havisham treated her relatives like in weird ways.
When Miss Sarah Pocket asked her how well she look she said “I do not, I am yellow shin and bone.” 1 She started arguing with Camilla and both would make insults to each other. Miss Havisham asked Camila what was the matter and Camilla said “Nothing worth mentioning, I don’t wish to make a display of my feelings, but I have habitually thought of you more in the night than I am quite equal to.” 2 All Miss Havisham would say is “Then don’t think of me.” 3 Miss Havisham also told them quote “This, is where I will be laid when I am dead. They shall come and look at m here.” 4 She said this because she treated her relatives like vultures. She also acts in weird ways than the other’s. For example, she always treated Pip like dirt. She uses Estella to get to Pip and make Pip feel bad about himself because he gets beat by a girl.

She always wants Estella to play cards with Pip. Estella would always beat him which made Miss Havisham happy. It’s like she wants to get revenge on something and takes it out on Pip. She would turn her head at people, make weird jesters and role her eyes at people. In conclusion, I believe Miss Havisham is an extremely eccentric character.
One reason is the Statis House and all the weird things occurring in and out of the house. The other is the way she treats her relatives. She makes sure she let them know they are dirt. And maybe the main reason is her attitude towards everybody.
Furthermore, Miss Havisham may be nice sometimes, but she is still weird for me.
