    About Great Expectations

    As a young orphan, Pip encounters an escaped criminal while living with his cruel sister. He is then sent to spend time with the eccentric Miss Havisham and her cold, beautiful ward, Estella, who enchants Pip. As a young man, Pip is given money by a mysterious benefactor, who turns out to be both the convict and Estella’s father. With the hopes of winning Estella’s love and becoming a gentleman in London, Pip is tasked with many "great expectations."

    About Great Expectations

    As a small boy at Joe Gargery’s forge, Pip meets two people who will affect his whole life – an escaped convict he is forced to help, and the eccentric Miss Haversham, whose beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella young Pip adores. But when a secret benefactor pays for him to go to London to become a gentleman, Pip never dreams he will meet the dreadful Magwitch again, nor just how wrong his expectations are.
