UNDERSTAND • ANALYSE • REVISE • SUCCEED
“I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.”
Pip wants to become a gentleman.
He believes wealth will give him status.
He believes Miss Havisham is his mysterious benefactor.
And above all, he believes his expectations will lead him to Estella.
He is wrong.
Great Expectations is one of literature’s great novels of ambition, class, identity, shame, loyalty and moral growth.
Coleman’s Notes guides you through the complete story—from Pip’s terrifying childhood encounter with Magwitch on the Kent marshes to his final meeting with Estella at the ruins of Satis House.
