Answer:
According to Herbert, Miss Havisham's eccentric behavior was due to the hurtful past event of jilting which she had experienced with Mr. Compeyon.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Miss Havisham was abandoned by Mr. Compeyson on their wedding day, which was supposed to be as both of theirs memorable and special day.
- She was hurt to the extent that she drew the conclusion that all men are like that and she started hating and having a sense of repulsion towards all of the men.
- She wanted to “wreak revenge” on all men as a revenge on how she was treated.
