How is Charles Dickens life represented in Great Expectations?
Great Expectations was widely popular and was riddled with many of the themes that fascinated Charles Dickens throughout his literary career. He was drawn especially to social justice and to commenting on the inequalities inherent to Victorian society. While England was growing rich and powerful in the era of colonialism and the Industrial Revolution, Dickens saw the injustice that ran rampant among the working and lower classes. Dickens, along with many other nineteenth century novelists, was also very interested in childhood and in orphans. Charles Dickens wrote almost fifteen novels, none of which have ever gone out of print.
