Groote Verwachtingen

Groote Verwachtingen

by Charles Dickens

Groote Verwachtingen, een klassiek werk van Charles Dickens, volgt het leven van Pip, een weeskind uit de lagere klassen, die plots in aanraking komt met rijkdom en een andere leefwereld. Hij wordt verwend door een anonieme weldoener, die hem een gentleman wil maken. Pip, geobsedeerd door status en de hogere klasse, vervreemdt van zijn bescheiden roots en verliest zichzelf in arrogantie. Hij ontdekt later de identiteit van zijn weldoener en ervaart de bittere gevolgen van zijn vroegere arrogantie. De roman verbeeldt thema's als sociale ongelijkheid, verwachtingen, de zoektocht naar identiteit, en de kracht van liefde en vergeving.
