The writer’s genius determines how the word will represent the world, and it is his skill that ascertains how the world will interpret the word. Truly the magician in this regard, the writer is the most powerful factor in determining the fate and destiny of the characters and their lives. In such a situation, it can be said that the world of the writer is reflected most inventively in the word that is written through his pen. The writer’s perception of the world, his aspirations, his hopes and his fears spell out in his work in a manner that may not be outright obvious, but is present nevertheless. To assume a demarcation of the author’s experience of the world with the outpour of his words would be a tantamount to undermining the creative process – the same creative process that fathered one of the most influential and widely read works of all times – Great Expectations. Set in the Victorian age, Charles Dickens created a world so complete that every character is truly unforgettable, every emotion is truly impactful, every setting is truly engaging and every dialogue is truly memorable. From the minutest of all things to the overarching philosophies related to the plot, Great Expectations is a work that is seen as the result of the observational genius possessed by Charles Dickens. J. Hilis Miller comments on how Dickens keen observation spills out in his work. He writes that “Dickens’ novels are a transposition into fiction of his assimilative way of living” (Miller). Indeed, profound moments in the story seem to parallel the real life experience of Dickens, making it appear autobiographical in nature. Of Dickens’ works, David Copperfield is seen more autobiographical than Great Expectations. However, the latter possesses many elements that make it similar to the life circumstances of Dickens himself. While the plot and life trajectory of the protagonist, Pip, is different from that of Charles Dickens, the exceptional novel Great Expectations fosters the themes of a childhood hounded by suffering and abject poverty, the metamorphosis of a young socially inferior child into a successful, educated gentleman and the having expectations and fears throughout one’s life – all themes that draw strong parallels to the life of Charles Dickens, making the novel autobiographic in nature to a great extent. Set in the early Victorian age, the novel Great Expectations revolves around Phillip Pirrip, more endearingly known as Pip throughout the novel. Orphaned at an early age, the novel begins with a seven year old Pip who is visiting his parents’ graves on Christmas day. This apparently peaceful encounter is disturbed by the arrival of an escaped convict, who threatens Pip and asks him to bring him a file with which he can break his shackles. This event is pivotal in many ways in young Pip’s life. The next impactful encounter for Pip occurs in Satis House, the house of Miss Havisham, a queer rich old lady. It is there that he meets the first love of his life, the cold yet enchantingly beautiful Estella. It is after this encounter that young Pip feels the need to rise above his circumstances, and become an uncommon ‘gentleman’. However, despite his expectations with life, he starts work at a blacksmith under the apprenticeship of Mr Joe.
