ASSIGNMENT 2021 - 2022

3. Do you think the title of Dickens’ Great Expectations is appropriate? Give reasons for your answer.

 

Ans. It is because it is a novel about the maturation both physically and psychologically of the main character Pip. Great Expectations was written by Charles Dickens, one of Victorian England's most acclaimed and popular novelists. He wrote this novel comparatively late in life, just after A Tale of Two Cities. In Great Expectations, we see Dickens at his most experimental. The novel was serialized- published in installments in a magazine-from 1860- 61, when the Victorian era was at its height and the rapid social change was accompanied by anxiety. Dickens used his platform as a popular author to educate his audience about social issues.
