Living with Miss Havisham at Satis House is her adopted daughter, Estella, whom she is teaching to torment men with her beauty. Later Pip is requested to pay visits to Miss Havisham, a woman driven half-mad years earlier by her lover’s departure on their wedding day. Pip brings him food and a file, but the fugitive and Compeyson-his former partner in crime and a supposed gentleman who is now his enemy-are soon caught. While visiting his family members’ graves in the churchyard, the young Pip encounters Abel Magwitch, an escaped convict. He grows up in the marshlands of Kent, where he lives with his disagreeable sister and her sweet-natured husband, the blacksmith Joe Gargery. Pip (Philip Pirrip) narrates the tale from an unspecified time in the future. It chronicles the coming of age of the orphan Pip while also addressing such issues as social class and human worth. The classic novel was one of its author’s greatest critical and popular successes. Great Expectations, novel by Charles Dickens, first published serially in All the Year Round in 1860–61 and issued in book form in 1861.
