Why does Estella reject Pip's love?

In Charles Dickens’ novel "Great Expectations," Estella is a character who remains elusive and enigmatic throughout the story. She is initially introduced as the adopted daughter of Miss Havisham, a wealthy, eccentric woman who has raised her to “break the hearts” of men. Pip, the protagonist of the novel, becomes infatuated with Estella from the first moment he meets her, and eventually professes his love. However, Estella rejects Pip's feelings and the question remains as to why. Estella's character is deeply influenced by her upbringing. From a very young age, she was raised by Miss Havisham to be a cold and distant person, devoid of any emotional attachment. That is why she rejects Pip and marries a wealthier man.
