The orphan pip is destined to become a blacksmith like his brother-in-law, Joe. but when pip meets the beautiful estella havisham, he yearns for a gentleman’s education in order to woo her. a mysterious legacy answer the ambition, and changes the course of his life, taking him far from the marches of youth — far, or so he thinks, from his early terrifying encounter with an escaped convict, and his sister’s class resentments. In his fictional autobiography, Pip’s coming-of-age story becomes representative of the changing social landscape of nineteenth-century England. As Pip’s education provides upward social mobility, he must also learn hard lessons about self-delusion and forgiveness, love and loss, and the true nature of his Great Expectation.
