dc.description.abstract	"Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens is a novel that follows the life of an orphan named Pip. The story begins with Pip living with his sister and her husband in rural England. One day, Pip encounters an escaped convict named Magwitch and helps him, an act that sets off a series of events that dramatically alter his life. Pip later learns that he has a mysterious benefactor who is funding his education and transformation into a gentleman. He initially believes that this benefactor is Miss Havisham, a wealthy but eccentric woman, and that he is destined to marry her ward, Estella, with whom he is infatuated. However, as Pip matures, he discovers that his true benefactor is actually Magwitch, the convict he once helped. As Pip navigates the complexities of wealth, social status, and personal growth, he grapples with issues of identity and morality. The novel explores themes of class, ambition, and redemption, culminating in Pip’s realization that true gentility comes from kindness and integrity rather than social standing or wealth.
