Fantastic.

An amazing character. Loneliness so potent that all men should suffer.

The Haunted Mansion ride has a Havisham/Lizzie Borden thing going on at one point in the ride.

Havisham was the dark side of the whole culture. We see some of it in the Jane Austin novels where it is clear that marriage is the only option for well born ladies. I read some biography of Dickens (a very strange person) and evidently there was someone generally known who was like her. The only part of the costume I didn’t try to copy was the one shoe. She learned that she was jilted as she was dressing and had not yet put on both shoes. I was going to a costume party and so I did wear both shoes. One person at the party knew who I was. I won first place.
