Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is about the personal development and growth of Pip, an orphan. Another character in the book who have entered popular culture is Miss Havisham.
The clocks that are stopped at 8:40 in Miss Havisham's house represent A. the death of her dreams when she found out her fiancé was leaving her at the altar. In pursuit of her to “freeze time,” she stopped all the clocks at 8.40 because her groom left her leaving a note which she received at 8.40. It symbolizes her hope and resentments wherein not only the time remains the same but the jewelry, wedding clothes and wedding feast were laying at the same place.

How and when does imagination overcome reason?
bonufazy [111]
There are several situations in which imagination can overcome reason.
One of the most common ones are when you're paranoid or you are fearful of something. In this case, your imagination starts creating the worst possible scenarios that can ever occur. However, when going through the situation itself, you will actually find that it is less terrifying than what you imagined and that your were just trapped in your imagination. <span />
