Great Expectations Great Expectations is a novel by Charles Dickens that is considered, by the people that sit around considering books, to be one of the classic tales about life that nobody today would have the slightest chance of ever experiencing. In the beginning of the novel Pip, the main character, is a young commoner living with his adopted (I think check on that) parents Joe and Mrs. Joe. During his younger years Pip finds himself questioning what is to become of his life. The stages of his life are divided into three different �acts� the first being his pre-expectations life with Joe and Mrs. Joe, and being apprenticed at the forge, and aiding the convict. He first develops his great expectations in the first act when having been invited to Ms Havishams house he is treated as what he is, a commoner. This causes him to have a great disdain for his way of life and to want to be something �better�, a gentleman. The first act comes to an end with Pip acquiring a secret benefactor which carries his great expectations further. His time spent in London as a gentleman which is the second act. During this period he acquires a great deal of debts and pursues Estella a young woman he meets during the first act at a Ms. Havishams house. The second act comes to an end with Pip discovering the identity of his secret benefactor who was a convict indebted to Pip for the help Pip provided him during the first act. The third act is Pips reaction to discovering who his benefactor is and then the results and climax of it. It makes Pip�s life basically turn upside down when he realizes that the whole reason he is a gentleman is because the convict decided he wanted him to be. The conclusion of Great Expectations is Pip discovering that social standing doesn�t dictate a persons worth or potential.
