Some of Dickens’s most memorable characters appear in Great Expectations; their struggles amidst social change are great catalysts for class discussion. Themes such as love and rejection, wealth amid poverty, and good versus evil will captivate your students.
Dickens’s unique rags-to-riches bildungsroman highlights the complex problems that industry and the rise of a middle class brought to England, especially to those who considered themselves “gentlemen.”
