    Emma presents her audience with the ills of a socially stratified society and its repressive constraints manifested through her characters. The conservative social structure of Regency England is established through a clearly defined social organisation which is responsible for determining class by a families inherited wealth and lineage. The eponymous character is presented as the regency stereotype of the upper-class elitist, with the preliminary stages of the novel reflecting the context through the establishment of Emma’s social superiorty. “Emma Woodhouse, clever, handsome, and rich with a comfortable lifestyle and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings in existence.” The opening sentence uses a trochaic rhythm to reveal the heroines place in the higher echelons of Highbury society. Emma’s moral development and her “disposition to think a little to well of herself” as stated by the omniscient narrator amplifies Emma’s vanity gently satirising the…

    It is not uncommon for a parent to want their child to have pleasures in life that they were never given. Usually, this sentiment works in favor of the child. For example, an immigrant moves to a country where their child can have more rights, freedoms, and opportunities than they did. In the acclaimed novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Miss Havisham takes this outlook to new heights. Miss Havisham trains her adopted daughter, Estella to terrorize the hearts of young men to make up for the heartbreak that she faced in her youth.…

    In this essay I am going to explore the language which dickens uses to create sympathy for Pip. Firstly, Pip is an unloved orphan who has no purpose in life. In the opening chapter, we are brought into light that Pip had never seen his parents as ‘’I never saw likeness of either of them’’. Dickens uses the word ‘’never’’ to emphasise the sympathy built for Pip at the start of the novel. Moreover, we are informed that he has too lost all 5 of his…

    Charles Dickens manipulates the reader’s expectations greatly throughout the novel; he does this by focusing mainly on his idea of the ‘social class’ in society and how his characters transform through lessons learnt of their own life experiences. He subtly gives the information across, while controlling the readers mind’s with style as he slowly unravels the mysteries while presenting values and morals. He portrays the characters feelings with great distinction- achieving this with the development of his characters. The discrepancy of the expectations between the Victorian era and our modern beliefs and assumptions would have changed in time…

    In Great Expectations, Pip becomes obsessed with social class, wealth, and becoming a gentleman. However, he wasn’t always this way. At the start of the novel, he was content with a future as a blacksmith, working as Joe’s apprentice. Then, after his visit to Miss Havisham’s home, he begins to obsess over social class. He feels ashamed of being common, and no longer “like[d] Joe’s trade. [He] had liked it once, but once was not now.” (82), and wished for a courtship with the wealthy, gorgeous (and snobbish) Estella. The exposure to the wealth of Miss Havisham, and the beauty and snobbery of Estella had influenced his views on society, and created an unhealthy obsession with status and wealth within Pip. However, this kind of obsession is not strictly found in Victorian England.…

    Pip felt great joy once he received the news that an unknown benefactor was going to convert him into a gentleman. He effortlessly seized the opportunity and traveled to London for education and money. The obvious question that he wanted an answer was from whom did he receive these blessings? It is later introduced in the book that the escaped convict, Magwitch, is the benefactor. Magwitch asserts that he plans to facilitate Pip in becoming a gentleman because of his courage and his trustworthiness when they met previously. Magwitch found him worthy of the wealth that he accumulated, and decided to allocate a large portion of his wealth to Pip. Here, Magwitch greatly self-sacrifices himself by generously giving Pip a portion of his wealth, a physical attribute, considering that he has his own troubles to deal with. Due to Magwitch's self-sacrifice, Pip also self-sacrificed himself because he had to leave his family behind to live a new life in London. Both individuals, due to their…

    Great Expectations is regarded as a masterpiece by Dickens, it moves away from the more uplifting novels such as A Christmas Carol and David Copperfield. It brings with it a pessimistic approach to the higher social class of Victorian London, Dickens tried to emphasise how the poorer classes were being treated in relation to the wealthier classes. There is an obsession with gentlemanliness and gentility in the novel, which reflects the topic of conversation during the Victorian time (1837-1901). The attainability of a high social status seemed very attractive to many people of that era, bearing in mind that this was in a society that was dominated by the land owning aristocracy. During the course of this essay I will analyse “the gentleman” in Great Expectations and how it is portrayed, I will also look at the perceived notion of the term gentleman by the Victorians of that time, and the attack on the gentility of society will be discussed, this will be done through discussing a number of critics and writers to establish an overall conclusion to the debate of what a gentleman means in the novel.…

    Magwitch, then an unknown runaway convict to me, asked me to “bring [him]…[a] file and [some] wittles” (Dickens 12). Like my brother-in-law later said, “[I] wouldn’t have [the convict] starved to death” (Dickens 48), as he looked to be a “poor miserable fellow creatur” (Dickens 48) and a felt a sense of compassion to him. Even though I felt the guilt of stealing, “I stole some bread, some rind of cheese, about half a jar of mincemeat[,]…some brandy[,]…a beautiful round compact pork-pie[,…and] a file” (Dickens 22) for the convict. I showed kindness towards Aged P as I “nodded as hard as I possibly could…[and] tipped him several more…[leaving him] in great spirits” (226), for as Wemmick said, “Nod away at him…that’s what he likes. Nod away at him, if you please, like winking” (Dickens 226). Though my nodding was kind of tiring, I nodded at the Aged with a good intention whenever I failed to do it drowsily” (Dickens 400). I came known to my great expectations early in life. However, they failed when my benefactor, Magwitch the convict, came to me one night. I had “abhorrence[,]…dread,]…and repugnance” (Dickens 345) out of embarrassment when he came to me in London as I thought I was a gentleman and out of his social class. However, to him, I was his “son…[and he] put away money, only for [me]…[working as a] shepherd” (Dickens 345) so I could be a gentleman. After a series of events, seeing him in pain “my repugnance to him had all melted away, and the hunted wounded shackled creature who held my hand in his, I only saw a man who had meant to be my benefactor, and who had felt affectionately, gratefully, and generously towards me with great constancy through a series of years” (Dickens 479). “Joe showed compassion to me always” (Dickens 18). However, ever since I heard about my ‘Great Expectations,’ I “was thankless[,]…ungenerous and unjust” (Dickens 514) to him though he always stayed with me and supported me. He called us “the best of friends” (Dickens 503) and even…

    The text Great Expectations by Charles Dickens reflects many of the values and attitudes of nineteenth century England. The terms 'values' and 'attitude' are somewhat linked, and are both an integral part of the context of this novel. There was a great divide between the classes at the time of Great Expectations, with each class having its own stereotypical views. This difference led to crime in the city, which served the need for better punishment, as the justice system was quite arbitrary. Attitudes towards the difference between city and country life were also changing with the coming of Industrialisation. Each of these values and attitudes are depicted in the novel through the use of various techniques, such as imagery, characterisation and irony.…

    ‘Great expectations’ is a novel written during and set in the Victorian era, a time in which status, class and money were extremely important and where a discrepancy between the rich and poor was evident. The novel follows the ill-fated life of the protagonist in the novel, ‘Pip’. Dickens writes in such a way that each character is a subject of either sympathy or scorn. Dickens implies that Pip is a subject of sympathy through his use of guilt and suffering. Dickens also uses powerful vocabulary to create a poignant image of Pip and his surroundings. The story itself is narrated by middle aged Pip and Dickens intentionally uses him so that we see the story through the perspective of Pip as a child and an adult. Dickens even uses Pip’s name as an indication of his stature and future actions, ‘Pip’ could be seen as a small apple seed that grows into a large tree. As well as ‘pirrip’, a palindrome, being conceived as the word ‘rip’ placed symmetrically symbolising his character ripping into different personalities as he grows.…
