A novel which encompasses the human condition and faults is one which brings great expectations. The novel, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is about a boy, Phillip Pirrip, who comes into a large sum of money and in turn shuns those who raised him, Joe Gargery and Mrs. Joe Gargery, along with his common past. At the end of the novel, it illustrates how money will come and go, but family will always be by a person's side. In this essay I will illustrate the feelings of reverence and regret Pip feels for his past and family through the story.
