The Charles Dickensââ¬â¢ Great Expectations
The Charles Dickens Great Expectations, a impertinent released in 1861 about social criticism, is a explanation of a young male child named Pip who was in struggle to find his fortune or to be successful rather than to be confined on macrocosm a common man of his time. The novel was set in the mid-nineteenth century and took fundament in the town of Kent and London, England. Using the first person point of view, Pip, the relay transmitter in the novel talked about his childhood in the first many chapters of the book, describing his keep, the first encounter with the convict who will soon changed his fortune in the side by side(p) chapters.He also menti whizzd the development of his fascination and later on get it on for Estella, who was trained to break a mans heart. Unlike the conventional the traditional novels and tommyrot structure, the novel of Dickens does not contain a compositionicular antagonist, rather, he visualized some people who will contact the existence of Pip. He make several characters who took charge of the antagonism in the novel in the person of Magwitch, Estella, Orlick, Miss Havisham, Compeyson and Bentley Drummle. They will cause some of Pips misfortune and struggles.Magwitch, Miss Havisham and Estella, in the eat up of the novel redeemed themselves and reconciled with Pip (Dickens, n. pag). The novel housed many symbols which were explained through the actions of the characters. The filaria which were land upped in the house of Miss Havisham symbolize her attempt to stop time dapple the other objects like handcuffs, convicts, file and chains stands for misdeed and innocence. Joe, the husband of Pips sister is the conscience and loyalty. These symbols serviceed the protagonist to advance develop his character (Philips & Cheng, n.pag).In mixed tones of cheerfulness, dramatic and sympathetic storytelling, Pip showed what his life was all about, what happened to him and what happened to his desire of cosmos trained as a valet in the world wherein common people werent enough to be respected and treated fairly. Although the novel talked about several crimes and dealt with such criminality, these made Pip a person of much desire. The novel ended when they failed to inspection and repair Magwitch escape from being imprisoned, following his death.Miss Havisham was redeemed in the end while Estella and Pip were reconciled with each other. Pip had atonement with Joe also and the story ended with Pip and Estella walked hand in hand and promised never to part again (Dickens, n. pag). It is quite interesting that Charles Dickens worked on two closes for this novel. The inborn writer have a fix base or story in mind thus, any criticism will not stop him from publishing what he does like. In this case, Charles Dickens was influenced by what the people capability think of the novel.Instead of giving the readers a tragic and sad destination, he ventured into following the suggestion of his good frie nd Edward Bulwer to give a expert ending so that he people will be happy with what happened mingled with the characters. While his critics thought that the ending published was less of reality, the people who embraced the happy ending the legitimate ending was too harsh and thought that their yesteryear is actually a bridge for them to be together in the end of the novel. They pointed out that their experiences would lead them into mutual development and soon will help both to realize that they were in love with each other (Philips & Cheng, n.pag).The moment ending were Estella and Pip reconciled and walked away holding hands was the one published because of Dickens desire to somehow please his readers while the original ending was left hanging and was not used to justify the ending of the story. Like the critics of Charles Dickens Great Expectations, I go in advance with them that the ending used was not appropriate and that it does depict reality. It is quite out(predicate) that after what happened between him and Estella, he would remain to love her despite of her being that girl who broke his heart.The original ending is far more unselfish and realistic in the sense that in life, it is quite impossible to preserve the love you feel for the person after going through so many troubles somehow caused by the same person. Also, the difference in their attitude and the way they were raised is a very big concomitantor wherefore they should not be brought back together. The way that Estella judged Pip because of his status and the fact that he is just a common person, is enough evidence that the two will not be compatible with one another.In the end, their reunion and reconciliation with each other did not give a best(p) olfactory perception of reality and it also did not simply give a better justification with the fallen expectations which Pip had. The ending also foreshadowed the main idea of having a fair and equal ending. It also shows that those people who have suffering us can be given a chance to scandalize us more for the second time. Although I dont actually criticize the ending of the novel, I would just want to give an smell regarding the reality that the book should have.Although it was an autobiography fiction, it should still have a play of reality in it so that it will be more convincing. Analyzing the circumstance of both Pip and Estella, there was really no hint that the last mentioned will fall in love with the former and that their common pasts of being deceive and fooled does not justify the reason that they became compatible with it. In the end, whether it was a bad ending or a favored ending, the novel brought realization and many teachings to the readers thus, it opens the mind of a person and it somehow touches the heart of someone who gives too much attention of their life expectations.
