Great Expectations
Introduction
The novel I
read this time is “Great Expectations”
wr
itten by Charles Dickens
(1812-1870). He is the greatest
representative of English critical realism.
Dickens was born
in a poor
family. At the age of 12, his father was put in
prison and young Dickens was sent
to work in a
factory. From 1827 to 1829, Dickens worked as a
clerk in a low firm and later
as a newspaper reporter. Dickens was
horned by the Queen of England three months before
his death on June 9, 1810.
The words of his grave read as follows “by his
death, one of
England’s
greatest writers is lost to the world.”He has many
masterpieces, such as “A tale of
cities” “David Copperfield” “Hard time”
“Oliver Twist” and so on. “Great Expectations”
is one of his masterpieces.
The story in this book happened in middle of 19
century and it
reflects the
gap between the rich and the poor in the
capitalistic society.
The
summary of the book
This
story tells us about a young man who wished for
the ueal/imaginary lives, and
eventually his hope was extinguished by
the real life. Pip was an unfortunate boy. His
parents both died when he was a baby.
He was brought up by his elder sister and her
husband Joe Gargery. Joe was kind to
Pip and he also wanted Pip to be a good
blacksmith.
But the emergence of
Estella has changed his life. He fell in love with
Estella and he wanted
to be a
gentleman for her. Then a mysterious person came
to help him to realize his great
expectations. At first Pip thought that
it was Miss Havisham, a strange woman made plans
for him. But at last, it proved that an
escaped convict who he had helped when he was a
little boy was his benefactor. When the
escaped convict was arrested again, his
expectations
were at an end. Finally he
realized that he only wanted to be a gentleman but
he had ignored
his old friends. He came to
the real life again eventually. After suffering so
many pains he
and Estella came together
at view on this story
“Great Expectations”, I
think there is an irony included in this
titl
e. It relates to some uealistic
dreams. From this novel, I have learnt
a lot.
Firstly, I pick up several
lessons from Pip. One can have great dreams, but
we should achieve
our
dreams
by
our
own
effort
instead
of
depending
on
other
people.
In
this
story,
Pip
had
an
uealistic
dream.
He
didn’t
want
to
be
a
poor
blacksmith
like
Joe.
He
wanted
to
be
upper
class
people, to be a gentleman and he
imagined that there was someone had made a plan
for him. It is
true that Abel Magwitch
helped him secretly. But when Abel Magwitch was
arrested, it put an end
1 / 5
to Pip’s great expectations. He had
nothing left. And in this book, Herbert and Pip
form a poignant
contrast. Herbert made
great efforts to realize his dreams. In the end,
his business was doing well,
and
his
company
had
offices
overseas.
Therefore,
we
should
realize
that
if
we
want
to
achieve
something or fulfill one of our
ambitions, we must make efforts by ourselves.
There is no one in the
world that makes
plans for us. And there is no short cut for
success.
Secondly, I have learned
from Pip’s experience that we should be grateful
to others. We know
that Pip was brought
up by his sister and Joe. And Biddy was also
friendly to him when he was at
home.
But
when
he
was
helped
by
a
mysterious
person,
he
moved
to
London
to
learn
being
a
gentleman. He began to be proud and
look down upon those people at home. He wanted to
forget
his poor life and his poor
friends. But when his “great expectations” were
ruined, it was still those
people who
helped him out of trouble. However, when he began
to realize it, his sister has died; it
was too late to say thanks to her. What
I want to say is that no matter how successful we
are, we
should not be proud; we should
not forget the people who had helped us, and
return for them. If I
have learned
anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it
now .Don’t hesitate until it is too late to
give our thanks.
Thirdly, I also learn some lessons from
Miss Havisham, She is a woman full of hatred, and
she
lived in hatred for so many years.
She brought Estella up in order to revenge on man.
I think what
she did is not worth at
all. On one hand, she was not in real happiness,
although she revenged on
other people.
On the other hand, she had ruined Estella’s life.
In addition, she also made
other men
miserable. As for as I’m concerned, if
I was Miss Havisham, I will choose another
different kind of
life. I will make
myself live better than before to prove that I can
live better without that man. From
her
experience, I think we should learn to forgive,
learn to give up some bad things that
had happened. No matter what had happened in the
past, we should not be always lost in
the past and we are supposed to look forward, and
continue
our new life. There is no
doubt that if she had chosen a positive way, she
will have a satisfactory life.
What’s more, when it comes to Estella,
I want to say that we should live our own life,
and do
not only live up to others’
expectations. We know that, Estella was brought up
by Miss Havisham to
revenge on
ma
n. She did everything that Miss
Havisham told her. We can say that she was “made”
by Miss Havisham, and she was proud,
cold. At last, following Miss havisham’s
requirements she
married
to
a
man
she
didn’t
love
at
all.
I
think
she
lived
an
unhappy
life.
She
only
did
as
other
people told her. And she didn’t do
something what she liked. I think this kind of
life is meaningless.
We should have our
freedom. It occurred to me that nowadays, parents
have high expectations on
their
children.
They
decide
so
many
thi
ngs
for
their
children
without
getting
their
children’s
permission. I think children should
have their choice of life. Parents should not put
their children
into cage. It is wise
for them to set their children free to look for
their own sky.
In a word, from this book,
I have learnt how to be myself, how to realize my
dreams and how
to live my own life.
