A young orphan named Pip is the main character in Charles Dickens’s novel Great Expectations. Beginning from humble origins in the home of his guardians, Pip’s eye is drawn to a more lavish and aristocratic lifestyle when he meets the eccentric old Miss Havisham and her beautiful niece Estella. An unexpected fortune from a mysterious donor draws Pip closer to the glamorous life and people he desires, and yet further from those who truly love him. As life sends a series of ups and downs his way, Pip is forced to confront hard facts about his chosen lifestyle and learn who his true friends are. A novel with two different endings, Great Expectations is a brilliant example of Dickens’s expertly crafted plots, unforgettable characters, sparkling humor, and touching observations of human life.
