What's the Story

I think Dickens wrote the novel to portray the acceptance of life and show how to meet up with your expectations. Dickens had separated from his wife and was needing to accept things for what they were just as Pip had to learn to accept things. For example Pip had to come to terms of his father's imprisonment and his childhood which he wasn't too happy about. Also Dickens showed his opinions through the story such as the social class that the poor were more satisfied than that of the wealthy, upper class. It shows how his young character used his horrible, past memories to build him into the more mature, older Pip.
