Because she represents what can happen to someone who completely turns away from love, even though love can be very painful at times. Her warped view not only destroys her life, but also the life of the young girl - Estella - that she claims to want to protect. Her approach - to try and "freeze" the moment when her own "great expectations" ended - results in decay and death.

She is what Alfred Hitchcock called a McGuffin. She is something who is part of the story, but not in a way you think she is. All through the story, you are led to think that she may be the source of the inheritance. At the end, it is the convict, who was transported to 'Stralia, who is the source of the "great expectations." And Stella,who was brought up so well, is actually the child of a murderer.
