Great Expectations 5
The major themes from Charles Dickens novel "Great Expectations" are discussed to their importance in life while concerning their structure.Out of these many themes I have chosen love in the context of human relationships, isolation and finally redemption. While in the state of isolation the loneliness that you bring upon yourself can only be redeemed by the opposite sex.The greatest sin we can commit against ourselves and others while in the state of isolation is by shunning the human companionship as the old lady Miss Haversham had already done.After Compeyson,her fiance, left her standing at the alter Miss Haversham felt she had been betrayed in love and hardened her heart towards man.By hardening her heart and suppressing her naturally affectionate nature,she committed a crime against herself.Miss Haversham's love for Compeyson was one of the compassionate kind that blinded her from his true nature.At Compeysons desertion her anger and sorrow became extreme and she threw herself into perpetual mourning.The Satis House was a monument to her broken heart.It shutting the world out and herself from the world.
In adopting Estella, Miss Haversham has some hidden motives to turn the child into a haughty,heartless instrument of revenge against men.Estella is encouraged to practice her disdain on the garden boy Pip and to break his poor heart. Unfortunately,the only one being affected by this scheme is Miss Haversham herself.She has lost her generosity and has become withered inside emotionally.Miss Haversham only punishment is that the heartless young woman she has created will use her lack of feelings against her. the others together, redemption is its conclusion.There has to be love or the characters would not be able to interact,if there were only isolation each character's tale would be a separate piece of work.All good novels have a moral to relate and involve love and company.Later Pip's conscience makes him realize,Joe has more qualities than he himself possesses,his remorse however is short lived.When Pip's fortunes takes a fall he is too ashamed to approach Joe and Biddy, their love is too strong however and are there for Pip in his hour of need. genuine love.
