Miss Havisham has a cold heart, and she is mean to everyone. Pip is able to forgive the culprit of who committed many transgressions against him. Pip forgives her for not sculpting Estella to be his bride. Even though he wanted Estella for the majority of his life, he is able to forgive Miss Havisham.
