Opis

Great Expectations tells the moving story of a boy named Pip. The novel follows him through his adventures, his hardships, his struggle, and his desires, as he grows from being a simple village boy to an ambitious, dissatisfied person. The most memorable and intriguing is the character of Miss Havisham - the wealthy dowager, who is the impelling force of the story. Everything in the story revolves around her and her house - the Satis House. It is in the Satis House that Pip meets the love of his life - Estella and is completely consumed with his love for her. The story clearly brings out the importance of family and friendship over social status and wealth. The uniqueness of this novel lies in its multi-dimensional characters.
