In Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, the young and ambitious Pip is uprooted from his humble, working class beginnings, and sent to London to become a gentleman by an unknown benefactor. He leaves behind the love of his sister and her husband, who raised him from infancy. Pip’s strange involvement with the mysterious Miss Havisham and an ill-fated infatuation with her pompous adopted daughter, Estella, forces him to come to grips with his position in society.
