Notes

"Great Expectations," written by Charles Dickens, is a classic novel that follows the life and growth of an orphan named Pip. Set in Victorian England, the story begins with Pip's humble beginnings and his unexpected rise in social class, influenced by an anonymous benefactor. Throughout the novel, themes of wealth, social class, love, and personal development are explored as Pip navigates his relationships with characters such as the enigmatic Miss Havisham, the beautiful but cold Estella, and the loyal Joe Gargery.
