WHAT'S THE STORY?

I believe Charles Dickens wrote Great Expectations because he wanted to portray what it would be like in that time to live in London. Perhaps Charles Dickens himself is put his own self into his character Pip, like when he was a child. I think that through Charles Dickens' indirect characterization he showed how society worked in that time period for example, Pip's emotions towards things (like being fearful) shows how he feels about the upper class and elders and how he has respect and fear of them.
