Final Answer:
Three examples that support the idea that Pip finds Miss Havisham and her room strange are:
1. The room is in a “pretty large room, well lighted with wax candles” but it is still a “dressing-room” that looks like it has been frozen in time — the clocks are stopped at twenty minutes to nine, and the wedding breakfast is still on the table, rotting.
2. Miss Havisham wears a “white dress” that is old and yellowed, and she has “one shoe on” — she hasn’t changed or moved for years, which is very unusual.
3. She sits “on the table near her hand” — not in a chair — and her “watch and chain were not put on,” and there are “some flowers, and a Prayer-Book all confusedly heaped about the looking-glass,” showing disorder and neglect.
These details add to the oddness because they show time has stopped, normal routines are broken, and everything feels unnatural and unsettling — like a dream or a ghost story.
