Great Expectations is a beautiful novel written by Charles Dickens in the first person, which is truly rare from Dickens considering the other famous novels he wrote; nevertheless, in my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful books he wrote. The only thing that seems to me to be a weak point of the book is its ending; it doesn't follow the plot and it seems like Dickens simply forced the story to end on a happy note. There are three endings to Great Expectations; the first one was boring and sad, then he decided to end with a happy ending but he still felt something was wrong and so he finally wrote the third ending which had a minor but very significant change from the second END. The main reason Dickens changed the ending was because his friend, Wilkie Collins, told him that if he didn't want his career to collapse, he should end on a happy note, as the audience wanted and expects the story to end on a good note. good mark. The novel's original ending is dark but still follows the plot; Pip learns that Drummle, Estella's husband, died many years ago, but that she remarried a doctor and together they lived a sad life. One day, while Pip was walking the streets of London, he sees Estella driving a carriage and she recognizes him; Estella tells Pip that she knows she looks really different, but that she thought he might like to chat with her. After this meeting, Pip said that he was very happy to meet her because seeing her gave him assurance "that the sufferings had been stronger than Miss Havisham's teachings and had given him a heart to understand what my heart ". This marks the end of Pip's last great expectations. This makes him realize that Estella middle of paper......was finally published, it just makes it seem like getting Estella was his last and greatest expectation and it makes readers feel like he n never matured; this shows us that even though Pip is far from being a poor boy living in a village to have his own business in the Middle East, from the inside he is still an immature boy who has not forgotten Estella after all these years. Eventually, Dickens published the third version of the ending and the book was highly praised by many authors and even readers; but his idea of ​​changing the ending has been debated for many years since, as different authors and readers have their own opinions on which of the three endings would be best suited. /great-expectations/summary.htmlhttp://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/novel_19c/dickens/ending.html
