Enamoured by the eccentric Miss Havisham and her beautiful cold-hearted ward, Estella, Pip slowly begins to yearn to become a wealthy gentleman in order to be worthy of Estella. All this forms a series of events that changes Pip's life forever.At its heart, a bildungsroman, Great Expectations is a sweeping tale of love, guilt, redemption, and enigma.
