Reflection on Great Expectation

-----My Reading Report of Great Expectation

Class one Student No.10 Name: Anna Wang Great Expectation was written by Charles Dickens (1812-1870), one of the most popular writers of all the time, who created some of the best-known characters in English literature. Great Expectation is similar to David Copperfield in that it is the story of a boy growing up.

Pip has lost his parents when he was fifteen years old. He was brought up by his sister and her husband--Joe Gargery, a blacksmith who takes Pip on as an apprentice, teaches him his trade and makes friends with him. One day before Christmas, when Pip went to the churchyard where his parents were buried, he met an escaping convict-- Abel Magwitch. Pip brought cakes for the hungry man, which touched Abel deeply, although he was caught by police. After the Christmas, Pip was invited to play with Estella, a beautiful girl adopted by Miss Havisham. Miss Havisham was the richest man in the village. But she was very strange. She was dressed a bridal veil all the whole life after her fiancé left her at the wedding day, taking her a large amount of property. So she lived in the revenge and hated all the men. She treated Estella as a tool to take revenge on all man. When Pip met Estella, he loved her, so did Estella. But Estella knew she was just a tool to carry out the revenge plan of Miss Havisham, so she pretended to be proud, indifferent and look down upon Pip- a relative of a poor blacksmith, which broke Pip’s heart. As a consequence, Pip was determined to become a real gentleman who is in possession of money, good manners, luxurious life and a great expectation for Estella’s sake. Under the help of a stranger who donated a lot of money to him, Pip left Joe and the village, and went to London to live a luxurious life to learn to how to become a real gentleman. Pip started to waste money, look down upon other poor people, even including Joe, his brother-in-law and best friend! Gradually, Pip lost himself in the whirlpool of money, although he has had a large number of debts. As the same time, Estella has become more and more beautiful, graceful and brilliant. She walked in the crowd of men and married one of them as the Miss Havisham’s wish, which really tore Pip into pieces. And, as the same time, the mysterious benefactor of Pip came out. He is Abel- the escaping convict whom Pip has helped. When he escaped from the prison again, he earned much money and wanted to pay back Pip in that way. But Abel soon was caught by police and died. The properties he gave to Pip

远大前程英文版读后感

Great Expectations is a novel by Charles Dickens, a famous writer from England. It is the story of the orphan Pip’s life.

The character in this novelgave

me the deep impression was Pip.He fell in love with Estella. Educating himself for the girl,Pip studied as hard as he could.

Why did he love Estella so much? Not for her beautiful face,her treasure . Pip paid out so much for the love.

AlthoughEstella didn't treat him well and even that she didn't respect him at all! She put the food for him as a dog,but he didn't hate her. On the contrary, he left from his home with Pip/s friends. Pip just wanted to be a gentleman.

He abandoned a lot than he got. I can't understand why he do it in this way. I think it's not worth at all. If one person don't like you or not respect you,

The book review of Great Expectations

Recently, I have finished reading Great Expectations, which is widely considered as the

masterpiece of Dickens. The historic background of this book is Victorian Period which was the time when British was governed by Queen Victoria. The hero of the book is Pip, who was living in a blacksmith family. Someday, he met Magwitch, who was a convict, and he helped him. To show his gratitude, Magwitch gave Pip a good fortune and Pip led a totally different life after he got the money. However, Pip lost all of his money and fame because of his enemies’ plot at the last and become ordinary people at the last.

Women’s inferior state

—— thoughts on Great Expectations

Dickens is not a writer disdaining women. Instead,he loves, respects and takes care of them. However, in his novels, he unconsciously degrades women and puts them inferior to men. Great Expectations is evidence to my thesis.

There are three aspects in this novel that I believe this kind of thought of Dickens is revealed.

The first one is that women are fragile. That is not because those women are in lack of will, but that they need surviving abilities and that of self-survival and struggle against destiny. They always turn to men. That can be called “hero saving the beauty”. This notion originated in the Greek tales but is still adopted successively. The only difference between them lies in the plot and structure. Estella is adopted and trained to break men?s hearts by Miss Havisham. Havisham revenges men and marries Estella to an unworthy guy though Pip deeply loves Estella. Nothing can be bitterer than see his lover married to another guy for a man. Pip really fell into the despair of losing Estella. However, Estella suffers a lot and begins to regret for her initial choice for her spouse and begins to treasure

篇五 :远大前程英文读后感

Great Expectations

“Great expectations” is one of Dicken’s most maturest works. After Dicken had experienced large part of meaningful life, he had a deeper cognition for people, environment, as well as the life which he had gone through. And all the mature cognitions are included in this

writing---Great expectations.

Pip was brought up by his sister who was unpleasant as well as crude and her friendly blacksmith husband—Joe. Joe himself had arranged a common hard but satisfied path for Pip to go through, and on the other hand, Pip beheld this as his highest goal to achieve.

But the two things which he had experienced later had changed his pursue and his fate as well. Met Abel Magwith(an escaped convict) in the swamp, and unwillingly helped him out of danger by stealing food from his own home. If say that had changed his attitude for material life, then, his introduction to Miss Havisham, an aging woman who had been jilted at the alter and Estella who had been brought up by Havisham only to revenge for her own pain had brought vast shock for his world of spirit.

《远大前程》500字英文读后感

There was a man who had seven sons, but he had no daughter, greatly though he longed for one. At last his wife told him that they could again expect a child and, sure enough, when it was born it was a baby girl. There was great rejoicing, but the child was weak and puny, so weak that it had to be christened at once. The father told one of the boys to go quickly to the spring and fetch christening water; the other six ran along with him, and because each of them wanted to be the first to dip the jug into the well, it fell in and sank. So there they stood and didn‘t know what to do, and none of them dared go home. When they didn‘t come back their father got impatient and said:“ I‘ll wager they‘ve been playing some game again and forgotten all about it, the godless brats.“ He was afraid the little girl would have to die unbaptized, and in his rage he cried out:“ I wish those boys would all turn into ravens.“ He‘d scarcely spoken the words when he heard a whirring of wings in the air overhead, looked up and saw seven coal-black ravens flying away.

远大前程

——你想拥有波澜壮阔的人生,就要承受波涛汹涌的过程。

小说的主人公匹普,幼年时就成了孤儿,依靠姐姐的抚养长大。但脾气粗暴的姐姐没有给他一点温暖,只有善良的姐夫乔既像父亲又似朋友一样照料着他。匹普长成一个少年时,给乔做了学徒,而他淳朴的理想就是当一个像姐夫一样的好铁匠,他从未期盼过要做一个有钱的上等人。可是随着他被引进了贵妇郝薇香的家里,见到高贵骄傲的艾丝黛拉后,匹普的思想发生了转变,他爱上了艾丝黛拉,开始为自己的卑微身份配不上她而痛苦,而想以艾丝黛拉报复男人的郝薇香也在一旁狂热地鼓励匹普追求艾丝黛拉,但艾丝黛拉对匹普忽冷忽热、恣意取笑的态度除了让郝薇香这个对男人充满仇恨的女人心怀快感外,只能让匹普更加怨恨命运的不公,甚至连乔的友谊也不能给他安慰和快乐。后来命运终于出现了转机,当年匹普在墓地里帮助过的罪犯马格韦契在海外发了财,他要报答匹普,同时实现自己畸形的愿望:用钱打造出一个绅士。于是他暗中出钱让律师贾格斯找到匹普,告诉他“将要继承一大笔财产”,同时还要安排他去伦敦接受上等人的教育。匹普觉得幸福的大门在他面前敞开了,他从此可以成为上等人,能够以平等的地位追求艾丝黛拉了。不久后他来到伦敦,立刻着手按自己现有的身份颇有气派地花起钱来,为住房和服饰很费了一番

心思。他甚至羞于在伦敦的社交圈子里见到乔。虽然匹普的内心也难免觉得自责,但生活环境的变化主宰了他的价值观和行为。他从一个心地纯朴简单的乡村青年朝向往的上等人的目标努力着。可惜好日子没有持续很长时间,马格韦契找上门来,向他坦陈了一切,真相于是大白天下,匹普承受了双重的精神打击:一方面锦绣前程刹那间灰飞烟灭,无情地粉碎了他的美好期望,另一方面受恩于一个囚犯更让他感到耻辱。大病一场后,匹普回到了现实中,回到他应有的位置上。

作者查尔斯·狄更斯在这部作品中体现了他成熟的人生观和哲学和道德思想。小说中把追求远大前程的主人公皮普和朴实知足的姐夫乔的命运做了一个对比,让读者来思考到底该怎样追求自己的远大前程,过上让自己感觉幸福的生活。
