Great Expectations: Characters
Subjects / English / Charles Dickens - Great Expectations
Great Expectations has many characters and they are used by Dickens to explore Victorian England and the expectations of the main character and our narrator, Pip. The text focuses on Pip's motivations and emotions. It is primarily Pip's weaknesses that drive the action of the novel and ultimately show that our hero is actually 'unheroic'. Dickens sets out to show that Pip will be continually disappointed and his 'great expectations' will be left unfulfilled. Other characters mentioned in detail in this title will be Joe Gargery, Pip's brother-in-law and best friend; Abel Magwitch, the convict; Miss Havisham, an eccentric old lady; Estella, Pip's love and Biddy, an orphan friend of Pip's.
