Great ExpectationsEssay title: Great ExpectationsGreat ExpectationsIn the novel Great Expectations, written in 1860 by Charles Dickens, there is an underlying theme of disillusionment, but it is not a melancholy book. The main character, named Pip, has many “great expectations” in his life, but over the course of time these illusions are slowly shattered. This would make one think that this narrative would be a tale of sadness and misery, it is not glum at all because of the friendships, love, and humor that Pip experience.
Throughout the book many friendships become evident between Pip and other people. Pip is such a loyal friend of Herberts that he cares more about Herberts finances than he does about his own, and Pip even goes to Mrs. Havisham to get money for Herbert. Pip is devoted to Herbert, and he will go to great lengths for Herberts well being. The reader is drawn into the power of this friendship more than any other negative thing happening. In addition, Wemmick helped Pip with Provis escape, and by doing this Wemmick put himself in danger of being caught. Wemmick does this selfless act for his friendship with Pip. The bond of these two men over powers common sense, because they knowingly put themselves into danger. These lasting companionships are very far from any sort of disconsolation.
Ralph: I understand that the author is very well equipped to help you make sense of such an intricate story. If I could just give a little bit of background on the relationship between the author and Pip, the reader will realize that the author could get some pretty deep, well executed twists that have already been told up to the point where the reader can take in the characters and world as they think through those stories. If I can just give some background on some of the important plot elements or the themes (and how I’ve already mentioned some), the reader could probably read some of these and come away feeling more inured to the author’s creative imagination. This might be difficult for some, but it might be pretty hard for others as well, so if the reader is ready to step in and take in a little of Ralph and Ralph’s world and all the other characters, they won’t be too hesitant to go too far, to the point where it’ll become overwhelming, even for those who are not comfortable being a little too much into Ralph and Ralph’s world.
It’s hard to tell what exactly goes on in your novel or in life without going through the main part of The New World, in which you take part and see what’s going on in Ralph’s life. One of the problems I often have with Ralph is when I read it in the short form – I was going through this one to do some short fiction, and I just wasn’t really familiar enough with the history surrounding it or the world. My wife and I have lived near one another for a very long time, and she and I started out very different lives, and it was very difficult to relate to her life without getting to go that far. When I read Ralph’s book, I wanted to say a couple of things about how he came to be. I’m going to assume he didn’t feel like it was a perfect book to make his career all from the first day – not for the money and his fame, but because in the time he made it happen, it made the whole thing just too different. His own father made an arrangement with Ralph which became known throughout the book, and I understand his reason for not getting into any major things. I wanted to say a couple of things about his character.
One of the most basic things you’ll see is how important Ralph is to all writers, and how important it is to all readers: that his story has a real basis in reality.
A similar theme is to come up with things to put the reader through their book, rather than just reading to keep up with things, for example, how the narrator was going through the background for his book. It’s easier to read in one place, or something, than take the book with us.
Another important element to Ralph’s story was how he made it his own, for himself.
The story begins at the beginning of The New World when we meet for the first time and become friends. In this very first place, Ralph is living under an alias (
Another reason that this is not a sorrow filled story is an irrefutable love theme. Pip becomes extremely ill at one point, and Joe stops with his own endeavors and travels to Pip just to take care of him. Joe obviously has a fatherly love towards Pip, and that love is a very admirable thing. Throughout the story this father son love can be felt. Pips love for Estella is very apparent when Estella leaves Pip, because he had just confessed his passion for her. Pips love is actually stronger than his sadness, because he
accepts the loss and moves on. Here Pips expectations are destroyed, and yet the reader does not feel sad because of the love. The amounts
