Reference: Corpse Bride played by Helena Bonham Carter

Film: Corpse Bride

Director: Tim Burton

Year: 2005

Corpse Bride is set in the late 1800 hundreds, in a small victorian village, where a man called Victor Van Dort, a son of a fish merchants, finds himself in an arranged marriage with Victoria Everglot, a high society women whom he's never seen or spoken to. After Victor badly messing up the wedding rehearsals, he ventures deep into the woods while practicing his vows. Once he finally gets them right, he discovers he has accidentally recited them to a corpse. His new dead bride takes him with her to the Land of the Dead, whilst his living fiance, longingly waits for his return in the Land of the Living. With both brides pining for him, Victor has to decide between his love at first sight fiance Victoria, or his dead corpse bride Emily.

This character in the film Corpse Bride, I feel like there are elements of Miss Havisham in there as both characters Miss Havisham and Emily, don't exactly have the best wedding as Miss Havisham gets jolted at the altar making her an emotional and having an unstable mind, where as Emily gets murdered on the night she was planning to run away and get married, which in the Land of the Dead made her slightly paranoid and leaving her unable to trust anyone, also making her a jumpy and quite a skitzy character.

Another thing that I find similar between both characters is that they are both insistent on things being perfect as for Miss Havisham she made sure everything is in the same position it was on the day she was supposed to get married, and it has stayed that way and I assume if anything ever got knocked or misplaced if it ever happened to get moved she could freak out and be in a delicate state until it is back in its original place. As for Emily in the end of the Corpse Bride she ends up marrying Victor, but she wanted her wedding to be perfect as she didn't want her wedding in the Land of the Dead but she wanted it in the Land of the living making every dead person cross over, which to me makes her sound quite bossy and obsessive that everything will be perfect for her second attempt at a wedding.
