The novel "Great Expectations", by Charles Dickens, follows a young, socially inexperienced orphan named Pip, throughout his journey, highlighting his inability to adapt to life. and the relationships around him. His story is told through the eyes of the older Pip and highlights aspects of society that Dickens disapproves of. His techniques throughout the novel help to better understand Pip's life. When Pip first meets the escaped convict in the graveyard, the strained relationship between them is obvious to the reader, but all is revealed in chapter 39, where readers meet Pip and the convict again and witness a reversal role between them. The weather in the novel is significant; Dickens describes it in such a way that he creates an atmosphere by using disturbing and disturbing images. This story of a lonely orphan in a confusing world provides many opportunities to reflect on the hardships of a poor childhood in the 19th century and how difficult it might have been for such a naive and gullible young boy to survive those times. , especially with such difficult family circumstances. The theme of injustice, inherent throughout the film, explains some of the reasons why it has so many "high expectations". Charles Dickens' novels criticize the injustices of his time, notably the brutal treatment of the poor in a society sharply divided by differences in wealth. He experienced this world from a very young age; he saw the bitter side of the social class system and wanted it exposed, so people could see the exploitation the system was built on. But he presents these critiques through the lives of the characters, Pip and Magwitch. Social status was important in the mid-19th century. The rich man...... middle of paper ...... no longer in his life but in doing so he changes and becomes a worse person. Dickens imparted many lessons to readers, one of which is that you can't judge a book by its cover. We know this because in chapter 1 the readers' reactions to Magwitch's appearance are a disgusting, sinful creature, "a fearful man", but in chapter 39 the reactions are the opposite; we feel warm towards the convict and see how the convict repays Pip by becoming his benefactor. The moral is just as relevant today as people are stereotyped and make judgment based on their appearance, as in the novel Pip is described as a shy, timid and innocent little boy; however, in chapter 39, his true colors are shown. We see Pip, an adult snob, where his higher class and status have changed his behavior; immediately break the stereotype that readers had imposed on him.
