    Miss Havisham’s Experience with the Gothic Space in Dickens’ s Great Expectations
    (2017-06) AZIZI F/Zahra, AICHOUCHE Hanene
    ABSTRACT This thesis “Miss Havisham’ s Experience with the Gothic Space in Dickens’ Great Expectations” traces over two chapters Charles Dickens’ adaptation of the Gothic elements into his classic Victorian novel “Great expectations”. This study extends and focuses on the great gothic characteristics function through a female figure “Miss Havisham” and her alteration for the uncanny gothic role within the novel. This investigation aims at laying attention on the way she creates her gothic space, and to show through evidence the position she took in marrying the gothic. The whole work is devoted to explore the main character “Miss Havisham” in order to understand her psychological state. The study reports on a minute stand on “Miss Havisham” the villainy creature that changed her attitudes and mood from a well set up lady ready for marriage to an intense upheaval of a desperate, degenerated and vengeful woman. This project responds to the Bildungsroman “Great expectations” which portrays the degree of extreme hate that a woman can bear to man through “Miss Havisham” characterization.
