From there, Robson takes a natural segue into aging and longevity; mentioning, incredibly, that your mindset and expectations can influence both of those: Billington, Michael (7 December 2005).

There are other characters who are associated with the idea of gentility like, for example, Miss Havisham's seducer, Compeyson, the scarred-face convict.

Minus 1.5 stars because it was very boring initially (the first 4 chapters and the last one) and hard to read through at first. In Great Expectations, the true values are childhood, youth and heart. The heroes of the story are the young Pip, a true visionary, and still developing person, open, sensible, who is persecuted by soulless adults. Then the adolescent Pip and Herbert, imperfect but free, intact, playful, endowed with fantasy in a boring and frivolous world. Magwitch is also a positive figure, a man of heart, victim of false appearances and of social images, formidable and humble, bestial but pure, a vagabond of God, despised by men. [N 8] There is also Pip's affectionate friend Joe, the enemy of the lie. Finally, there are women like Biddy.Illustrations by Harry Furniss for Great Expectations".
