It was very hard trying to decide on which entries to write about, until I got into Mr. William Jacobs conversation with his grandson.

In Great Expectations, Charles Dickens tells the story in the perspective of a young boy growing up in England during the Victorian Era. Philip “Pip” Pirrip is the protagonist, where we discover his life experiences and expectations through his narration. Pip’s sister, Mrs. Joe, and her husband, Mr. Joe, greatly influence his childhood.

Picture this: a woman is getting arrested for shoplifting at the local Giant. As the cops take her away, a cluster of onlookers begins to form. Sure, they don’t know the story, but one thing for certain is that she really wanted that milk. She knows the story, however: that her husband just left her, leaving two kids and herself without a source of money. The conflict is that she shoplifted, so she committed a crime.

In many situations, one will find that there isn’t always an extreme left or right leaving the correct path as ambiguous. In Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations moral ambiguity is expressed through his characters. The main character Pip and his expectations leave him hoping for a better life and craving a higher social class, which causes his actions to fluctuate between helping people and taking his frustrations out on others. In addition, Miss Havisham, a woman with a broken heart tries to save her adopted daughter Estella from receiving a broken heart.

Lastly, as Pip comes into his expectations, he is blessed with more and more money. Pip receives an endless supply of money which causes him to spend munificently. He spends all of his money on self-centered luxuries to impress the other young rich gentlemen. As a result of careless spending, Pip runs into

Love is an intense feeling of deep affection that everyone experiences once in their lifetime, but only a few can achieve it. The sensational feeling of love that humans have endured is a sign of comfort and expressed by being around someone or something that makes you feel a certain way through affection. However, it is blinding to humans because it alters an individual's behaviour when they are within this threshold. In the novel, The Great Gatsby by F.

In William Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the protagonists Romeo and Juliet claim to be in love with each other.

It’s safe to assume that you have never looked to a fictional character for relationship advice, or any advice at all for that matter. However, I’ve recently discovered to a highly mature young woman who is wise beyond her years. No, she is not a real person, but she lives on the pages of a Charlotte Brontë novel. Her name is Jane Eyre, and to say that she has been through a lot would be quite an understatement.
