I came across this film ‘What Ever Happened To
Baby Jane’, I watched and researched up about it, to begin to see a visible
link in the storylines of this and Great Expectations. There are 2 characters
‘Baby Jane’ and “Miss Havisham’ which I believe have similar character traits.
Summary-
“In a tale that almost redefines sibling rivalry, faded
actresses Blanche and 'Baby' Jane Hudson live together. Jane was by far the
most famous when she performed with their father in vaudeville but as they got
older, it was Blanche who became the finer actress, which Jane still resents.
Blanche is now confined to a wheelchair - Jane ran her over with the car while
drunk, even though she has no memory of it - and Jane is firmly in control. As
time goes by, Jane exercises greater and greater control over her sister,
intercepting her letters and ensuring that few if anyone from the outside has
any contact with her. As Jane slowly loses her mind, she torments her sister
going to ever greater extremes.”
