Attitudes toward Victorian Society in Great Expectations by Charles Dic

corking ExpectationsExplore some of the ways in which dickens attitudes to squeamish society are presented in the opening chapter of Great Expectations.For this try I will be focusing on the opening chapters of Great Expectations, a novel written by Charles daimon. I am acquittance to consider the Victorian society at the time and dickens expenditure of address to express themes, settings and characters.Charles Dickens wrote this story in the Victorian times. whence we seem to think what does he mean by Great Expectations. By us the readers, knowing and understanding what it means, we can welcome a irritable idea of what the story is like. By Great Expectations we mean having high expectations for life, fork and dreams for a better life. Dreams that a person really wants for it to come true. Hoping or expecting more than you have. This lays quite an effect on the reader, this is because the title Great Expectations doest put much. The title itself can give ideas to us th e readers as to what the story will be like. For example they can suppose that the story is about someones great expectations in life, of a job, of a person and rase of himself or herself. This story was set in the Victorian times, which was actually in the mid 1800s and Charles Dickens wrote it in the 1860s. So life defend then is very(prenominal) contrastive as to how it is now.

This also gives the impression that the atmosphere is dull, depressing, empty and hopeless. This makes the reader feel that in that respect is no hope for Pip. In conclusion I think Dickens has used language, setting and the theme of death etc in a very effective way. Dickens shows us the different ways of using language to introduce many themes and settings. He does this using different technique as he skilfully catches the readers attention in mediocre through the first pages He involves the reader so quickly that they fairish hold back on reading. This makes the readers feel it is important to know what happens next. However I myself and many many other readers will find that Dickens does keep his readers interested all the way through the story and it shows how good he is at it.
