These two images above (left: Gillian
Anderson, 2011 BBC adaptation) and (right: Helena Bonham Carter, 2012 Mike
Newell's adaptation) of Great Expectations shows a modern take on the infamous
Miss Havisham. They are younger versions of the Miss Havisham we all imagine
from the book although both very interesting takes on the character. I loved watching the 2011 BBC adaptation at Christmas with my
whole family sat together in the living room. It was a chance for the whole
family to get together as the programme appealed to all ages.
These versions of the character have inspired me for my own interpretation on Miss Havisham. I thought it was clever and interesting how Gillian Anderson's Miss Havisham had sores on her hands from where she constantly rubbed and scratched showing her nervous temperament. Perhaps it was her only way of being able to feel, like a form of self-harming.
