Women! Men! A segregation that goes throughout history. This segregation between males and females transcends through time, past to present even. Not only through real time but fictional time too. Many books do this through traits they give their characters. When they do this they often base it off of a person they know. Which leads to the gender role differences in books and movies. This differences also go for real life. That’s what gives writers ideas on how a character should be. For example, when one starts to read a book, sometimes they thinks “where did this character come from?”. Often when we see a for who it involves a character in that story to be like that person.

Great Expectations her cruelty when she replies to Pumblechook and said, “Ah! But you see, she [Mrs. Havisham] don’t” (Dickens 51). It is shown that she uses a large amount of sass in her speech. Even though she is shown to be beautiful she is not. Very similar to a woman that the author, Charles Dickens, had met. That woman was very similar to Estella and it is believed she, Estella, is based off of that woman. To continue Estella is taught to “break their [men] hearts and have no mercy” by Mrs. Havisham ( Dickens 88). This adds on to the connection of Estella and the woman Dickens knew. The woman broke Dickens’ heart just like Estella broke Pip’s heart, since both females chose another man. The main difference is that Dickens did find love and Pip did not. Going back to the woman, they both have been “leading [a] most unhappy life” (Dickens 453). It is stated that Estella was beaten by her late husband and when he passed away, she married another. The woman had chose another man, but later on in life she came back to Dickens but he was already married. Now, Dickens was excited to see her but when he did he was very surprised. Not because she looked the same but because she had become a very different person and he had become content with the woman he married. This applies to Estella, for at the end she sees Pip again and it is shown that she now knows the feeling of loving just like …show more content…
In Great Expectation the reason they ended up the way they were was because Dickens wanted to portray them the way they really were. They were his inspiration. Just like as if they were identical twins, the fictional and real. Now not only this but the writer can twist and rip apart the real as much as they want and put it back together in his or her image. This affects the idea of gender roles by being added to a book, because it gets read and can be read by anyone. That gives the reader the ideas and/or ideals of the author. If that author thinks women are vial and men are kind, that idea goes to the readers and then they spread it around. Words are powerful, like the saying “the pen is mightier than the sword”. Proving that one must be careful on what one is saying or doing. Just because you never know who is listening. If your image ends up is a book it will be their forever. So be careful, never know who is
