Great Expectations--A clichéd Plot is A Beautiful Story

This story, summed up in one sentence, is the story of a poor boy who went to the upper class in pursuit of a rich girl. But Dickens wrote it very romantically and beautifully. Little Boy: When I was young, I planted a good fruit tree. Years later, this kindness grew into a towering tree, blessed him, and helped him realize all his dreams. Is there anything better in the world? This may be the greatness of great writers. Even a small detail can add depth. This story didn't move me, but it made me admire Dickens even more.

Great Expectations quotes

  • Finn: Seven years passed, I stopped going to Paradiso Perduto, I stopped painting. I put aside the fantasy and the wealthy, and the heavenly girl who did not want me. None of it would happen to me again. I'd seen through it. I elected to grow up.

  • Finn: The night all of my dreams came true, and like all happy endings,It was a tragedy, Of my device, for I succeeded. I had cut myself loose from Joe, from the past, from the gulf, from poverty I had invented myself. I'd done it cruelly, but I had done it. I was free!
