The ‘Great Expectation’ is an interesting story by Charles Dickens. Based on the content of the story, it is agreeable that the female characters that the author creates are fully realized than the male characters through the story. The description of all the female characters is detailed and the author has ensured that each female character has been described in a manner that the author is expecting. On the contrary, the male characters through the story have not been fully realized, making the female characters stand out through the story. Such characterization does not necessarily undermine the quality of the work since it depends on the intentions of the writer. In this story, Dickens was intending to make the female characters stand out in driving his main theme through the story. Although he might have done it unconsciously, it fitted into the particular story.
Analysis of the story shows that the legal system in the fictional world created by Dickens was flawed. For example, Pip met Able Magwitch who was an escaped convict who was stealing food from Mrs. Joe. As he later came to learn, Able Magwitch was a criminal who the court had exiled to New South Wales. Such a sentencing is unviable and his description means that he had committed a crime that did not fit such a sentencing. For a country that sentences their people into going into exile, it means such a country`s court system is highly flawed.
