The narrative presents a rich tapestry of unforgettable characters, from the eccentric Miss Havisham to the convict Magwitch, each contributing to Pip's moral and emotional education. With its blend of suspense, romance, and sharp social commentary, the novel uncovers the profound impact of wealth and status on personal identity and human relationships. It remains a powerful and moving examination of hope, disillusionment, and the true meaning of gentility.
