Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
slow-paced
4.0
sorta a horror story?
a creepy woman in a house taunts people in her life for her enjoyment due to her misfortunes.
Pip an orphan raised with a blacksmith is introduced to a rich woman. Through this his expectations for life become tainted and “great” and he now strives to succeed above his situation in life and become a gentleman. Randomly he comes into a large sun of money which does transcend him to this status however he has no idea who gave him the money or why and has many “great expectations” as to who it is and why. Even with the money and education he is still largely unaccepted by his new society and isn’t able to make a name for himself.
Meanwhile there’s a whole mystery plot happening around his sister’s injury and also another with the convicts from the beginning of the story.
