The Way Estella Is Perceived

"At least I was no party to the compact," said Estella, "for if I could walk and speak, when it was made, it was as much as I could do. But what would you have? You have been very good to me, and I owe everything to you. What would you have?" "Love," replied the other. "You have it." "I have not," said Miss Havisham.' (2.38.36-39) - 
Miss Havisham brought Estella up to love her and no one, but she didn't think of the consequences of bringing up a child that dislikes everyone, and that soon she will start to dislike her.

"Do you want me then," said Estella, turning suddenly with a fixed and serious, if not angry, look, "to deceive and entrap you?" (39.105 -
Estella was straight up honest about her intentions, it just seems that she simply doesn't care enough to lie about it, which aids my impression of her being a heartless girl.

Whilst watching the film and reading part of the book, I didn't quite picture Estella as being a cold hearted girl, I understand that at the start she was spiteful towards Pip but initially I never saw it as anything more than the fact she was a spoilt little girl. However as the film digressed I saw the fact she was more heartless but only due to the way she was raised, you can sense that there was some love there, more specifically for Pip. I would have loved to create the character of Estella as the interior the exterior but I have to create her as I did Miss Havisham.
