Satis House is a fictional estate in the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations.
Satis House is the home of Miss Havisham, a rich woman, heiress to her father's fortune, who was abandoned by her intended husband on her wedding day. In rage and disappointment, she "lays waste" to the buildings and grounds, even stopping the clocks at the exact time she learned of her lover's betrayal.
Like Edgar Allen Poe's Usher House, Satis House reflects the corruption, decay, and fate of its owner. In the novel, the building is destroyed after its owner's death, but its fate varies in the better known dramatic adaptations. In the most famous movie of Great Expectations, the 1946 version, the building remains in its corrupted state to serve as a setting for the final scene. In the mini-series version of 1989, the estate survives until the last scene but is slated to be torn down.
Satis House is an example of a fictional structure whose existence embodies the soul of its owner, allegorically if not in reality.
