Great Expectations
UBSPD's World Classics S.
Charles Dickens
Great Expectations Is The Finest Novel By Charles Dickens In Terms Of Plot, Structure, Style And Thematic Elements. Written In 1861, It Marks The High Point Of Dickens' Greatness As A Novelist, Particularly Because Of His Increased Sensitivity To Life In Victorian England And The Sham And Hypocrisy He Saw All Around Him. As A Novel Of Social Criticism, It Is Far More Trenchant Than Anything Dickens Wrote Earlier. In The Character Of Pip, Dickens Makes A Serious Attempt To Present The Ambivalence Of The Problem Of Good And Evil. Pip Is Not Just A Young Man Of Native Goodness Thrown On Adversity But Finally Rising Above It. He Is A Complicated Mixture Of Good And Bad - Considerate And Selfish, Loving And Callous, Humble And Ambitious, Honest And Self-Deceiving. The Core Of Dickens' Universal Theme Lies Inside Pip Himself-As It Does In All Of Us-And The Triumph Of Good Comes Through Pip'S Self-Discovery-As It Will For All Of Us.
