Charles Dickens, Great Expectations: remorse, confession, absolution and penitence

Resumo

It is very difficult to point out where, exactly, the complexity and greatness of a book lies. The portrayal of the characters, their psychological growth and reaction, the painting of the setting, the movement of the plot, the atmosphere, the tone and the thematic develQpment are all important items, and each of them, separately, contributes to the concretization of the whole.
