With so many famous masterpieces on the booklist， it is really a pretty hard job to chooseone to read first. After much hesitation and deeply thought， I finally decided to borrowGreat Expectations from the small library.
Great Expectations is about love， family， and rejection as Pip and Miss Havisham have bothbeen rejected in certain ways. Pip is a boy around 13 years old， easy to fright， and goesthrough his life suffering lots of sadness. He is in love with a girl named Estella and wantsher to find his love， but for him being shy and not showing himself to her， it makes it veryhard for him.
Great Expectations was the penultimate novel pleted by the most popular novelist ofVictorian England， Charles Dickens. Born in Kent， England， in 1812 to a family of modestmeans but great pretensions， Dickens’s early life was marked by both humiliation andambition. Dickens never forgot the period of financial crisis during his childhood， whenfollowing his father’s bankruptcy， he was taken out of school and forced to work in ashoepolish warehouse.
Pip meets an escaped convict， Magwitch， and gives him food， in an encounter that is tohaunt both their lives.
When Pip receives riches from a mysterious benefactor he snobbishly abandons his friendsfor London society and his“great expectations”。
I set up my mind to select it for the reason that I have read a brief introduction of thismasterpiece in my high school English textbook before. In addition， a Tale of Two Citieswhich is also written by Charles Dickens， the outstanding and special English writer， left mea wonderful and deep impression， when I finished reading the marvelous story.
Of course， Great Expectations didn’t let me down， either. What’s more， the whole structureof the novel is well and elaborately designed. The plot is extremely attractive and full ofunexpected twists. Quite a few characters have a distinguishable personality. Moreover， thosewords and sentences are so beautiful and meaningful that I even took them down carefully inmy notebook. By reading them no less than three times， I have learned not only some newphrases and sentences， but also a philosophy of life.
Among the characters， which impressed me most are not Pip and Estella who should be regardedas the leading roles， but Joe and Magwitch. I feel awfully sorry that I was not brave enoughto read the original edition that is as thick as a brick. Otherwise， I may appreciate Joe andMagwitch more. Yes， they are not the main characters in the novel. However， what they saidand what they did deeply touched me. It’s interesting， isn’t it? They are quite theopposite guys. One is a totally good man without the least bit of wickedness while the otheris a prisoner who is believed to have mitted every evil.
I believe that everyone who reads the book is to like Joe. When he talked about his heavydrinking father who hit him a lot， he said he had a lot of love. Faced with his rude wife， hewould rather seem a bit weak or foolish than stand up to her and fight for himself. Knowingpeacockish Pip was ashamed of his uneducated manners， he left sadly and quietly. The worldrushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness. But when hewas informed of Pip’s illness， he immediately came to take good care of Pip. He is alwayscontributing everything and requiring nothing. Such a man is Joe， kind， tolerant andselfless. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage， nothing so cruel and pitiless ascowardice，" says a wise author.
However， why do I appreciate Magwitch， the bad guy? You may wonder. Indeed， Magwitch did alot of evil things when he was young. But how can you be unmoved when you get to know thatthe old man kept himself going just by thinking of the boy who once did him a small favor?He lost his only daughter and Pip had no parents， so he considered himself as the boy’ssecond father， making up his mind to help his dear boy became a gentleman. He did every kindof job and led a hard life in Australia. At last he made a big fortune and promised himselfthat all the money would go to Pip. He could have led a better life in Australia ，but Ihechose to go back to London .with the simple intention of seeing Pip， he went back at the riskof being hanged! “whatever the fault he had from the start， remember， reader， he had a goodheart.” Joe used these words to describe his father. But I think these words can betterdescribe Magwitch. He lived with the fear of death all his life. Who shuts love out， in turnshall be shut out
from love. However， thankfully， because Pip finally realized his goodheart， his ending was peaceful.
Dickens has Pip as the writer and first person narrator of this account of his life'sexperiences， and the entire story is understood to have been written as a retrospective，rather than as a present tense narrative or a diary or journal. Still， though Pip "knows" howall the events in the story will turn out， he uses only very subtle foreshadowing so that welearn of events only when the Pip in the story does. Pip does， however， use the perspectiveof the bitter lessons he's learned to ment acidly on various actions and attitudes in hisearlier life.
I know how to fully understand this novel， twice is far from enough. Pip， Estella， MissHavisham， Biddy even Mr Wemmick， every single character has a story that is well worth myattention. I love this novel so much that I am determined to read the original edition oneday. Believe me. But before that day es， I will see the movie Great Expectations first.
Search for knowledge， read more， sit on your front porch and admire the view without payingattention to your needs.
远大前程英文读后感
Dickens is not a writer disdaining women. Instead，he loves， respects and takes care of them. However， in his novels， he unconsciously degrades women and puts them inferior to men. Great Expectations is evidence to my thesis.
There are three aspects in this novel that I believe this kind of thought of Dickens is revealed.
The first one is that women are fragile. That is not because those women are in lack of will， but that they need surviving abilities and that of self-survival and struggle against destiny. They always turn to men. That can be called “hero saving the beauty”。 This notion originated in the Greek tales but is still adopted successively. The only difference between them lies in the plot and structure. Estella is adopted and trained to break men’s hearts by Miss Havisham. Havisham revenges men and marries Estella to an unworthy guy though Pip deeply loves Estella. Nothing can be bitterer than see his lover married to another guy for a man. Pip really fell into the despair of losing Estella. However， Estella suffers a lot and begins to regret for her initial choice for her spouse and begins to treasure
Then es my second point. Facing destiny， women are physically and intellectually inferior to men. Actually it does not mean they have an inferior intelligence， but that it seems so. Or we can say that both men and women have the same potential of intelligence， but women never show a lot. God creates everyone equally， but not everyone is granted the same approaches to success or achievements. Women are restricted to families， which restricts them from showing a lot. They can cook food well， which is one standard for their excellence but not the one for male. The novel goes this way since it implies the male consciousness. The ordinary intelligence of women in marriage and love is exposed pletely. Havisham is abandoned on her wedding day， but she keeps the room like the day she got married， while on the other hand she tries every means to revenge men. Bearing these two conflictive thoughts in mind， Havisham certainly fails to live her own life out of the control or influence from male.
The discipline for women is my third point. A feminist De Bufuwa says: “One is called woman because she is ‘made’ not ‘born’。” Culturally woman is the product of society and the result of its strict restrictions. Those women who do not obey the disciplines are not regarded as gracious or good women by social criteria， which emphasizes on families， the responsibilities for their husbands and their dependence on men. In Great Expectations， Estella and Havisham’s misfortunes are closely attached to love and marriage. They try to revenge men and but they cannot leave men. Estella leaves Pip， but at last she es back to him. And Havisham keeps thinking about her marriage day and her husband. So in Dickens’s novel， women are decent on surface， but failed in heart.
Every period has an outstanding feature， which make descendants linger in mind.To learn this novel can help us in understanding better women’s efforts to stand up. Society presses public to believe that male plays a dominant role. Havisham can symbolize a feminist but what then? She needs a male acpany. Her ending somewhat is tragic but Estella harvests through a long time， but anyway she wins in depending man and leading a pleasant life.
The above is what I get from the novel in the textbook. And to conclude my opinion in one sentence， I should say：women depend on men. That is not my opinion， but what I get. I have to mention that again since I myself is one part of that group and I am not willing to take a subordinate role in both family and society.
The character in this masterpiece left me the deep impression is Pip.He falls in love with Estella.He studied as hard as he could.Educating himself for her.Why did he love Estella so much? Just for her beautiful face? because she is pretty? She is rich? She is proud? In fact， I think Pip pay out so much for the love.She didn't treat him well and even that she didn't respect him at all! She put the food for him as a dog，but he didn't hate her. On the contrary， he left from his home and his friends. He just want to be a gentleman.He abandoned a lot than he got. I can't understand why he do it in this way. I think it's not worth at all. If one person don't like you or not respect you，you needn't do everything for her. So it made me quite sad.I feel sorry for Pip. He had a very difficult life…
Miss Havisham is aslo a character who left me a deep impression.She was a pitiful lady.Her mother died young.Her farther was very rich and very proud.with only one child，Miss Havisham，by his first wife.In fact， she should have a nice life，but her wedding was destroied by her fiance.He broke her heart and she was angry.She want to retaliate all men.She was really a abject woman.But she chose a wrong way to continue her lifeShe wanted to hurt other persons.And she had done.This is no good for her.Only made her feel a little fortable.and there was more victims in the world.there are so many persons in the world.when they were hurt they want to hurt other innocent persons.Athough this is no good for them，but they did so.I do not know why they did so.Revenge?Made the world full of hateness.It is difficult to understand.
That's my thought.
《远大前程》读后感
"Great Expectations" has been considered to be one of Charles Dickens’ most mature and relatively late works. Having experienced a wealth of human life， Dickens got a profound understanding of human-being， the surrounding environment and his life experiences while all his mature thinking and understanding were summarized into the book "Great Expectations". The original meaning of the work’s title in fact is a heritage， but when it was translated into Chinese it gave me an impression that the title shows the hero of the story had Great Expectations. However， reading over the book I realized that this "Great Expectations" takes an ironic band——it should be said that the theme of this work not only told the story of orphan Pip who wanted to be the ideal first-class disillusionment. If one does think so， he holds a wrong understanding of the great significance why Dickens creative the work. The hero Pip lived with his sister’s family. Though their life was hard， Pip didn’t wish to be a first-class per
son his vision was to be a blacksmith like his brother-in-law， his sister’s husband. The reason why he changed his mind and was eager to be a first-class person later was the changing of environment——he met Miss Harvisham， Estella and some other plex people. As we know one of Dickens's philosophy thoughts is environment takes a deep impact to humans’ ideological and the story expresses his view that different environment creates different people. In short， I think the work was not arbitrarily written， but was based on the 10 works before aggregating Dickens’ thoughts. What is more， Dickens had put his outlook on life， his views of philosophy and ethics into the great creation.
The story is divided into three phases of Pip's life expectations. The first "expectation" is allotted 19 chapters， and the other two 20 chapters each in the 59-chapter work. In some editions， the chapter numbering reverts to Chapter One in each expectation， but the original publication and most modern editions number the chapters consecutively from one to 59. At the end of chapters 19 and 39， readers are formally notified that they have reached the conclusion of a phase of Pip's expectations.
In the first expectation， Pip lives a humble existence with his ill-tempered older sister and her strong but gentle husband， Joe Gargery. Pip is satisfied with this life and his warm friends until he is hired by Miss Havisham and Estella.From that time on， Pip aspires to leave behind his simple life and be a gentleman. This life is suddenly turned upside down when he is visited by a London attorney， Mr. Jaggers
The second stage of Pip's expectations has Pip in London， learning the details of being a gentlemen， having tutors， fine clothing， and joining cultured society. At the end of this stage， Pip is introduced to his benefactor， again changing his world.
