"'I am serious,' said Estella...'I have never had any such thing'" (238).
Charles Dickens created Estella as a character who has Pip in a trance because of her elegance and beauty. Even though she appears to be beautiful and looks as though she would have a heart of gold because her outside appearance looks perfect, inside she is cold and phlegmatic. She admits to Pip that she does not have any emotional feelings and does not really care about others. Pip is blind because of his infatuation and realizes that she is telling the truth later on in the novel. By Charles Dickens creating a character such as Estella he is trying to enforce the message to the reader that a first impression based on appearance can be very far from the truth. Even if something looks beautiful and perfect, that does not mean that it really is.
