"Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens follows the life of Philip Pirrip, known as Pip, an orphan raised by his sister and her husband, Joe Gargery, a blacksmith. When Pip assists an escaped convict named Magwitch, his life takes a dramatic turn. Later, he becomes enamored with the beautiful but cold Estella, adopted by the eccentric Miss Havisham. As Pip rises from humble beginnings to wealth and social status, he grapples with themes of loyalty, ambition, and self-discovery. Ultimately, he learns that true greatness comes from personal integrity and the relationships he cherishes, rather than mere fortune. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
