THESIS .
----about Dickens & his "Great Experience" .
During the long vacation I was immersed in reading a great book. In the book there is a fearful marsh, fog London, mysterious escaped criminal and uncertain love.
The book is "great expectations". When I just finished reading it, I had a lot of problems in writing this read report, but now I feel confident, because I have read it twice seriously, watched DVD and studied writer Charles Dickens's biography and made a deep consideration. The aim of writing the article is to look into Dickens' secret by analyzing the personality and experience of the hero in "Great Experience". .
What I understand when I read.
The English name of the works is "Great Expectations". When I started reading it I supposed that it was about a poor boy gradually became a gentleman in the upper class. However I realized the topic of the story is rather sarcastic when I finished it. In reality Pip's bright future which he dreams of is broken into the pieces at the end of the story.
It is certain that the subject of the works doesn't write the orphan's dream to be shattered. In the beginning the hero's ideal is to be a blacksmith, the same as Joe. Later he changes greatly to be an upper person just because he is after Estella. The aim of Dickens is to express that how great people can be influenced by outside. And he also tells us though the world fills with lure, we must restrain ourselves from bad urges and keep ourselves in innocence and purity.
The book tells a story of how a young man grows up gradually from a pure and innocent boy to a selfish and smooth-faced one, yet having met with amounts of suffering, he changes into be a kindly youth. .
The writer portrays Pip through two threads. They are dependent each other and sometimes are alternated. In one thread the writer describes Pip's change of moving towards the upper society and in the other thread Pip's love experience is written.
