Why did Charles Dickens write the novel you're reading/reviewing? What in your
analysis of literary techniques led you to this conclusion?
I believe that Dickens wrote Great Expectations to show people that money isn't everything. You can be happy without money, or fame. All you need is good people by your side and reasonable ambitions.
What led me to this conclusion was Dickens use of antagonism. Having Mrs. Havishm and Estella as antagonists to the protagonist, Pip, it helped me to see that the two women really weren't happy at all. Their happiness was materialistic and fictional. Pip thinks that he needs all those fancy things in order to be happy too, but in the end he realizes that he can create his own happiness, just by being around the people he loves, doing the things he loves.
