In the last chapter I read, we are finally told the reason for Miss Havisham's strange behavior. I am not sure whether you remember, but Miss Havisham was an old lady, who paid Pip to come to her house and play cards with her adopted daughter. When he main character met her, he was shocked : She was wearing her wedding dress and had one shoe put on. She had no idea which day it
was, had pulled all the curtains so that no daylight was present in her room and all the clocks in the room were stopped at exactly twenty minutes to nine. The reason for that, I just found out, was that a few years ago she was completely inlove with this man and was ready to do anything for him. A few people had told her to be careful but she didn't listen. The two were about to get married, everything was ready. Then, less than an hour before the ceremony was about to start, he sent her a letter saying that he is leaving her. The even worse thing is that it is supposed that the man was in a conspiracy with Miss Havisham's half brother and that they shared the profits.
