Charles Dickens was one of the England’s greatest writers. He had only a few years’ school education because of poverty. His hard work and self-study contributed to his success.
Great Expectations is set in England in the early 1800s. The main character Pip becomes an orphan when he is still young. His kind brother-in-law, Joe treats him like a father as well as a friend. After Pip is given a large fortune unexpectedly, he is bent on becoming a gentleman. He becomes vain and starts to be ashamed of his background.
What it really means to be a gentleman is an important theme in Great Expectations. By the end of the novel, Pip learns that wealth doesn’t buy happiness and that friends are more important than a fancy education. This story is still a great moral tale even judged by today’s standards. Dickens, using his insight into human nature, tells us truths about human behavior. They are as true in the 21st century as they were in the 19th century.
