Great Expectations Satis House
1,363 words
In his book Great Expectations, the problematic
nature of moral judgement and justice that stems
from a conflict between Gods law and human law is
one of several topical themes that Charles Dickens
addresses. This paradox regularly surfaces in his
treatment of plot and setting, and is more
subtlety illustrated in his use of character. To
facilitate the readers awareness of such a
conflict, the narrator often uses language that
has Christian connotations when relating his
thoughts and when giving...

you have the other. One also must understand that
money equals power; people aspire to money. When
people come into wealth and begin rising to the
top of the social ladder, history dictates they

Pip discovers during the course of the novel, what
are the really important things in life. I agree
with this phrase because at the end of the novel
Pip is a true example of a real gentleman, someone
who knows themselves and the truth. Someone who
doesn t live life in a world of fantasy and
accepts things and people for what they really
are. Someone who is honest, justice and loyal. To
become this he goes through a lot and realises the
important things in life. Pip s innocence at the

Morals play an important part in everyday life.
Morals are lessons taught by exhibiting goodness
or correctness of character and behavior. I
believe that the purpose for Pip to tell his story
of Great Expectations was for it to be used as a
moral guide for people to follow. It was a way for
Pip to show the readers about moral maturation,
how people change, and to warn them about money,
love, and what really matters. In Dickens novel,
