Great Expectations is a Bildungsroman (a novel tracing the life of the protagonist) by Charles Dickens and first serialized in All the Year Round from December 1860 to August 1861. It tells the story of the orphan Pip (short for Philip Pirrip) and his "expectations", inheritance and plans for progression in his life and status. Great Expectations is divided into three volumes, each of which corresponds to one stage of the hero Pip's expectations and his life journey.
Great Expectations is often placed at the top of polls as Dickens' best novels.
Pip's character on the story begins as a likeable, but simple child, but develops into quite an unsympathetic character later in the book.
