Significance of the Title of Charles Dickens's
“Great Expectations”/ Critically
comment on the theme of
‘expectation’ in
Great Expectations.
The title of Charles Dickens’s novel Great
Expectations mainly refers to Pip’s "great expectations"
which are many dimensional and ever-evolving. His great expectations arrive in
the form of his fortune and are embodied in his dream of becoming a gentleman.
These expectations also take the shape of his longing for a certain cold star
named Estella. Each of the three parts of the novel treats a different
expectation, and we watch how Pip changes in the face of his changing
expectations.
Pip undergoes 3 phases in his life, in which he has
different expectations:
The first stage of Pip’s expectations
Pip is a poor orphan living with his sister and her
husband the blacksmith. He has an encounter with an escaped criminal on
Christmas and the help he gives him results in the criminal setting him up with
a secret inheritance. One day a lawyer comes and says that he has money coming
or "great expectations" and he has to have a different education now
that is he is to be a gentleman rather than a blacksmith...............................................................................................................................................
