It is observed that Dicken’s characters are remarkable individuals, but they are more than that. They are solitaries. They are people caught living in a world of their own. They do not talk to one another, they talk to themselves. More so Dickens belonged to the age where people were more materialistic and for them things were more important than people. Thus, dickens uses certain techniques, languages for portraying his characters with specific devices.  In Great Expectations Dickens has depicted his characters with certain peculiarities. For instance, Joggers has a huge forefinger, Wemmick a post-office mouth, Magwitch a clock-like throat etc. Dickens can nicely associate certain objects with his characters and they are projected. For E.g. Estella wears jewels in her hair and on her breast, Joggers flourishes a large white handkerchief.  Dickens has shown the impact of materialism by presenting Miss Havisham who has been guilty of aggression against life in using the two c...

  It is generally believed that Dickens pays least attention towards the plot construction in his novels. Thus, his most of novels have weak, loose and inorganic plots. There is no unity of action. They are full of various episodes and irrelevant characters. But his Great Expectations differs from this tradition. As G. B. Shaw remarks about the plot of this novel,  "Its beginning is unhappy; its middle is unhappy; and the conventional happy ending is an outrage on it." The plot construction in Great Expectations is superb. It establishes Dickens as the master of narrative style, dialogue and depiction power. The post is dramatic, full of adventures and humorous situations as well. The plot begins with suspense and a thrill when Pip is threatened by the run away convict who years later is to be the arbiter of the boy's destinies.  There is a wonderful inter-relation of each stage and each incidents. Pip's development of love, his feelings for the Joe, the sudden change...
