This image is taken from Shakespeare's famous play, Hamlet in Act 5 Sc 1. The skull that Hamlet holds has so much symbolism, and i thought this could be an idea for Miss Havishams final image.
-The moment with the skull marks a turning point for Hamlet. It's here, in the graveyard, where Hamlet thinks about the commonness of death and the vanity of life which seems like a new, more mature acceptance of a common human fate.
-Hamlet begins to remember his childhood as a happy time in which Old Hamlet was alive and all was well in the world.
{The skull could be significant for Miss Havisham; her remembrance of her unloving husband, and could be a turning point, as for when she asks Pip for forgiveness.}
