远大前程英文读后感

远大前程英文读后感范文一:我所看的《远大前程》并不是原著,而是书虫系列图书里的简化版。

但它也记述了原著的大部分内容。

读完这本书后,我觉得这的确是一本好书,里面隐藏了许多道理,内容也峰回路转。

《远大前程》英文名叫Great Expectations。

它是由英国作家查尔斯狄更斯写的。

主人公的名字叫匹普,故事是由匹普在小村庄的教堂墓地里遇到一个逃犯开始的。

这个逃犯叫阿伯尔马格韦契,刚从监狱船里逃出来的,他非常饿,便威逼匹普给他拿食物。

匹普觉得非常害怕,便给了逃犯食物。

谁也没有想到,就是这个逃犯改变了匹普的一生。

匹普爱上了一个上层社会的女孩,从此他开始不再安分了。

他羞于与自己的伙伴为伍他姐姐的丈夫,他的好友,一个铁匠;还有村子里的其他人。

当他知道有人给他一大笔钱去让他接受高等教育时,匹普非常高兴,觉得自己终于配得上那个小姐了,他离开了村子,离开了好友,他忘记了童年的那个逃犯,去伦敦学习去了。

后来他发现那一大笔供他读书的钱是那个逃犯再次越狱后辛苦打工的钱时,他厌恶的全身发抖,他后悔离开了自己原来的好朋友而去与逃犯为伍。

后面又发生了一连串的事,这里就不细说了。

人总是希望和周围的朋友攀比,如果他们有钱,我们肯定也希望有钱,相反,如果他们很穷,那么我们却不在乎同样受穷,这大概是人的天性吧。

我们不会因为自己的愚蠢而羞愧,我们只会因为比周围的朋友更蠢才感羞愧。

匹普正是因为与上层小姐交流过后,感到羞愧,他才会厌恶以前和他一起的那些朋友们。

假如我们未期待拥有,就不会对失去而沮丧。

既然我们不曾指望富有,我们也不会因为贫穷而失望。

懂得知足的人最快乐。

对物质的追求是没有尽头的,此时需要我们有清醒的头脑去认清哪些是我们必须的,哪些是我们不必需要的。

范文二:大二时看过英文原著Great Expectations,现在重看中文版的,感觉很翔实,看来是英文功力不够,印象不深。

从前言得知这是狄更斯创作成熟阶段的三部代表作品之一,另两部是《艰难时世》和《双城记》,以后要看!小说展现了一个具备善良秉性的男孩(皮普)获得巨大财富后又一无所有的成长历程。

皮普的“远大前程”化为泡影。

Pip meets a strangerMy first name was Philip, but when I was a small child I could only manage to say Pip.So Pip was what everybody called me.I lived in a small village in Essex with my sister, who was over twenty years older than me, and married to Joe Gargery, the village blacksmith.My parents had died when I was a baby, so I could not remember them at all, but quite often I used to visit the churchyard, about a mile from the village, to look at their names on their gravestones.My first memory is of sitting on a gravestone in that churchyard one cold, grey, December afternoon, looking out at the dark, flat, wild marshes divided by the black line of the River Thames, and listening to the rushing sound of the sea in the distance.Don't say a word!’cried a terrible voice, as a man jumped up from among the graves and caught hold of me.‘If you shout I'll cut your throat!’He was a big man, dressed all in grey, with an iron chain on his leg.His clothes were wet and torn.He looked exhausted, and hungry, and very fierce.I had never been so frightened in my whole life.‘Tell me your name, boy!Quick!’he said, still holding me.‘And show me where you live!’‘My name's Pip, sir.And I live in the village over there.’He picked me up and turned me upsidedown.Nothing fell out of my pocket except a piece of old bread.He ate it in two bites, like a dog, and put me back on the gravestone.‘So where are your father and mother?’he asked.‘There, sir, ’I answered, pointing to their graves.‘What!’he cried, and was about to run, when he saw where I was pointing.‘Oh!’he said.‘ I see.They're dead.Well, who do you live with, if I let you live, which I haven't decided yet?’‘With my sister, sir, wife of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith.’Blacksmith, you say?And he looked down at his leg.Then he held me by both arms and stared fiercely down into my eyes.‘Now look here.You bring me a file.You know what that is?And you bring me some food.If you don't, or if you tell anyone about me, I'll cut your heart out.’‘I promise I'll do it, sir, ’I answered.I was badly frightened and my whole body was trembling.‘You see, ’he continued, smiling unpleasantly, ‘I travel with a young man, a friend of mine, who roasts boys’ hearts and eats them.He'll find you, wherever you are, and he'll have your heart.So bring the file and the food to that wooden shelter over there, early tomorrow morning, if you want to keep your heart, that is Remember, you promised!’I watched him turn and walk with difficulty across the marshes, the chain hanging clumsily around his leg.Then I ran home as fast as I could.My sister, Mrs Joe Gargery, was very proud of the fact that she had brought me up‘by hand’.Nobody explained to me what this meant, and because she had a hard and heavy hand, which she used freely on her husband as well as me, I supposed that Joe and I were both brought up by hand.She was not a beautiful woman, being tall and thin, with black hair and eyes and a very red face.She clearly felt that Joe and I caused her a lot of trouble, and she frequently complained about it.Joe, on the other hand, was a gentle, kind man with fair hair and weak blue eyes, who quietly accepted her scolding.Because Joe and I were in the same position of being scolded by Mrs Joe, we were good friends, and Joe protected me from her anger whenever he could.So when I ran breathless into the kitchen, he gave me a friendly warning.‘She's out looking for you, Pip!And she's got the stick with her!’This stick had been used so often for beating me that it was no w quite smooth.Just then Mrs Joe rushed in.‘Where have you been, you young monkey?’she shouted.I jumped behind Joe to avoid being hit with the stick.‘Only to the churchyard, ’I whispered, starting to cry.‘Churchyard!If I hadn't brought you up, you'd be in the churchyard with our parents.You'll send me to the church-yard one day!Now let me get your supper ready, both of you!’For the rest of the evening, I thought of nothing but the stranger on the marshes.Sometimes, as the wind blew round the house, I imagined I heard his voice outside, and I thought with horror of the young man who ate boys’hearts.Just before I went to bed, we heard the sound of a big gun on the marshes.‘Was that a gun, Joe?’I asked.‘Ah!’said Joe.‘Another convict's escaped.One got away last night.They always fire the gun when one escapes.’‘Who fires the gun?’I asked.Joe shook his head to warn me.‘Too many questions, ’frowned my sister.‘If you must know it's the men in the prison-ships who fire the gun.’‘I wonder who is put into pris on-ships, and why?’I asked, in a general way, quietly desperate to know the answer.This was too much for Mrs Joe.‘Listen, my boy, I didn't bring you up by hand to annoy people to death!There are ships on the river which are used as prisons.People who steal and murder are put in the prison-ships, and they stay there for years sometimes.And they always begin their life of crime by asking too many questions!Now, go to bed!’I could not sleep at all that night.I was in terror of the man with the iron chain, I was in terror of my sister, who would soon discover I had stolen her food.As soon as there was a little light in the sky outside my window, I got up and went quietly down to the kitchen.I stole some bread, cheese and a big meat pie, hoping that, as there was a lot of food ready for Christmas, nobody would notice what was missing.I did not dare take the whole brandy bottle, so I poured some into a smaller bottle to take away with me.Then I filled up the brandy bottle with what I thought was water from a big brown bottle.I took a file from Joe's box of tools, and ran out on to the dark marshes.The mist was so thick that I could not see anything.Al-though I knew my way to the shelter very well, I almost got lost this time.I was near it when I saw a man sitting on the ground, half asleep.I went up and touched his shoulder.He jumped up, and it was the wrong man!He was dressed in grey, too, and had an iron chain on his leg.He ran away into the mist.‘It's the young man!’I thought, feeling a pain in my heart.When I arrived at the shelter, I found the right man.He looked so cold and hungry that I felt sorry for him.Trembling violently he swallowed the brandy and ate the food like a hunted animal, looking around him all the time for danger.‘You're sure you didn't te ll anyone?Or bring anyone?’‘No, sir.I'm glad you're enjoying the food, sir.’‘Thank you, my boy.You've been good to a poor man.’‘But I'm afraid there won't be any left for him.’‘Him?Who's that?’My friend stopped in the middle of eating.‘The young man w ho travels with you.’‘Oh, him!’he replied, smiling.‘He doesn't want any food.’‘I thought he looked rather hungry, ’I answered.He stared at me in great surprise.‘Looked?When?’‘Just now, over there.I found him half asleep and I thought it was you.He was dressed like you, andI was anxious to express this politely‘-he had the same reason for wanting to borrow a file.’‘Then I did hear them fire the gun last night!You know, boy, when you're on the marsh alone at night, you imagine all kinds of things, voices calling, guns firing, soldiers marching!But show me where this man went.I'll find him and I'll finish with him!I'll smash his face!Give me the file first.’I was afraid of him now that he was angry again.‘I'm sorry, I must go home now, ’I said.He did not seem to hear, so I left him bending over his leg and filing away at his iron chain like a madman.Halfway home I stopped in the mist to listen, and I could still hear the sound of the file.Catching a convictAll that morning I was frightened that my sister would discover that I had stolen from her, but luckily she was so busy cleaning the house, and roasting the chickens for our Christmas lunch that she did not notice that I had been out, or that any food was missing.At half-past one our two guests arrived.Mr Wopsle had a large nose and a shining, bald forehead, and was the church clerk.Mr Pumblechook, who had a shop in the nearest town, was a fat, middle-aged man with a mouth like a fish, and staring eyes.He was really Joe's uncle but it was Mrs Joe who called him uncle.Every Christmas Day he arrived with two bottles of wine, handing them proudly to my sister.‘Oh Uncle Pumblechook!This is kind!’she always replied.‘It's no more than you deserve, ’was the answer every time.Sitting at table with these guests I would have felt uncomfortable even if I hadn't robbed my sister.Not only was Pumblechook's elbow in my eye, but I wasn't allowed to speak, and they gave me the worst pieces of meat.Even the chickens must have been ashamed of those parts of their bodies when they were alive.And worse than that, the adults never left me in peace.‘Before we eat, let us thank God for the food in front of us, ’said Mr Wopsle, in the deep voice he used in church.‘Do you hear that?’whispered my sister to me.‘Be grateful!’‘Especially, ’said Mr Pumblechook firmly, ‘be grateful, boy, to those who brought you up by hand.’‘Why are the young never grateful?’wondered Mr Wopsle sadly.‘Their characters are naturally bad, ’answered Mr Pumblechook, and all three looked unpleasantly at me.When there were guests, Joe's position was even lower than usual(if that was possible), but he always tried to help me if he could.Sometimes he comforted me by giving me extra gravy.He did that now.‘Just imagine, boy, ’said Mr Pumblechook, ‘if your sister hadn't brought you up’‘You listen to this, ’said my sister to me crossly.‘If, as I say, she hadn't spent her life looking after you, where would you be now?’Joe offered me more gravy.‘He was a lot of trouble to you, madam, ’Mr Wopsle said sympat hetically to my sister.‘Trouble?’she cried.‘Trouble?’And then she started on a list of all my illnesses, accidents and crimes, while everybody except Joe looked at me with disgust.Joe added more gravy to the meat swimming on my plate, and I wanted to pull Mr Wopsle's nose.In the end, Mrs Joe stopped for breath, and said to Mr Pumblechook, ‘Have a little brandy;uncle.There is a bottle al-ready open.’It had happened at last!Now she would discover I had stolen some brandy, and put water in the bottle.Mr Pumblechook held his glass up to the light, smiled importantly at it and drank it.When, immediately afterwards, he jumped up and began to rush round the room in a strange wild dance, we all stared at him in great surprise.Was he mad?I wondered if I had murdered him, but if so, how?At last he threw himself gasping into a chair, crying ‘Medicine!’Then I understood.Instead of filling up the brandy bottle with water, I had put Mrs Joe's strongest and most unpleasant medicine in by mistake.That was what the big brown bottle contained.‘But how could my medicine get into a brandy bottle?’asked my sister.Fortunately she had no time to find the answer, as Mr Pumblechook was calling for a hot rum to remove the taste of the medicine.‘And now,’she said, when the fat man was calmer, ‘you must all try Uncle Pumblechook's pre-sent to us!A really delicious meat pie!’‘That's right, Mrs Joe!’said Mr Pumblechook, looking more cheerful now.‘ Bring in the pie!’‘You shall have some, Pip, ’said Joe kindly.I knew what would happen next.I could not sit there any longer.I jumped down from the table, and ran out of the room.But at the front door I ran straight into a group of soldiers.Mrs Joe was saying as she came out of the kitchen, ‘The pie-has-gone!’but stopped when she saw the so ldiers.‘Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, ’said the officer in charge.‘I'm here in the King's name, and I want the black-smith.’‘And why do you want him?’said my sister crossly.‘Madam, ’replied the officer Politely, ‘speaking for myself, I'd like the pleasure of meeting his fine wife.Speaking for the King, I'd like him to repair these handcuffs.’‘Ah, very good, very good!’ said Mr Pumblechook, clap-ping.The soldiers waited in the kitchen while Joe lit the forge fire and started work.I began to feel better now that everyone had forgotten the missing pie.‘How far are we from the marshes?’asked the officer.‘About a mile, ’replied Mrs Joe.‘ That's good.We'll catch them before it's dark.’‘ Convicts, officer?’asked Mr Wopsle.‘Yes, two escaped convicts out on the marshes.Has anyone here seen them?’The others all shook their heads.Nobody asked me.When the handcuffs were ready, Joe suggested we should go with the soldiers, and as Mrs Joe was curious to know what happened, she agreed.So Joe, Mr wopsle and I walked behind the men through the village and out on to the marshes.‘ I hope we don't find those poor men, Joe, ’I whispered.‘ I hope not either, Pip, ’he whispered back.It was cold, with an east wind blowing from the sea, and it was getting dark.Suddenly we all stopped.We heard shouts in the distance.‘This way!Run!’the officer ordered, and we all rushed in that direction.The shouts became clearer.‘ Murder!’‘Escaped convict!’‘Help!’At last we discovered two men fighting each other.One was my convict, and the other was the man who had run away when I had seen him near the shelter.Somehow the soldiers held the men apart and put the hand-cuffs on them.‘Here he is, I'm holding him for you!’shouted my convict.‘Officer, he tried to murder me!’cried the oth er man.His face was bleeding and he was clearly very frightened.‘ Murder him!No, ’said the first, ‘ that would be too easy.I want him to suffer more, back on the prisonship.He's lying, as he did at our trial!You can't trust Compeyson!’Just then he noticed me for the first time.I shook my head at him, to show that I had not wanted the soldiers to find him.He stared at me, but I did not know if he understood or not.The prisoners were taken to the riverside, where a boat was waiting to take them on to the prison-ship.Just as he was about to leave, my convict said, ‘Officer, after my escape, I stole some food, from the blacksmith's house.Bread, cheese, brandy and a meat pie.I'm sorry I ate your pie, blacksmith.’‘I'm glad you did, ’replied Joe kindly.‘ We don't know why you're a convict, but we wouldn't want you to die of hunger.’The man rubbed his eyes with the back of his dirty hand.We watched the small boat carry him out to the middle of the river, where the great black prison-ship stood high out of the water, held by its rusty chains.He disappeared into the ship, and I thought that was the last I had seen of him.Reading tasksI.

His witnesses were old and feeble, his lawyers were clever and sharp-eyed, and his accused was a violent, wicked murderer.Suddenly we became aware of a strange gentleman who had also been listening, and was now looking coldly at us.‘Well!’he said to us, biting the side of his finger.‘So you've decided the accused was the murderer, have you?'‘Sir, 'answered Mr Wopsle firmly, ‘yes, I do think he is guilty.’We all nodded our heads in agreement.‘But, ’said the stranger, ‘do you or do you not know that the law of England supposes every man to be innocent until he is proved-proved-to be guilty?’‘Sir, ’began Mr Wopsle, ‘as an Englishman myself, I-’‘Come!’said the stranger, ‘don't avoid the question.Either you know it, or you don't know it.Which is it?’‘Of course I know it, ’answered poor Mr Wopsle.‘Then why didn't you say so at first?Another question. Do you know that this trial isn't finished yet?’Mr Wopsle hesitated, and we all began to have a rather bad opinion of him.‘And you were going to say that the accused was guilty, before the end of the trial, before he has been proved guilty!’We realized that the unfortunate Wopsle had no understa nding of the law, or indeed anything at all.Now the stranger stood in front of our little group.‘I'm looking for the blacksmith, Joe Gargery, ’he said, ‘and his apprentice, Pip.’He did not recognize me but I knew he was the gentleman I had met on the stairs when visiting Miss Havisham. There was even the same smell of perfumed soap on his large hands.‘I want to speak to you two in private, ’he said, and so Joe and I left the pub and walked home with him.‘My name is Jaggers, and I'm a lawyer, ’he said, wh en he reached the forge.‘Joe Gargery, I am sent by someone who suggests cancelling this boy's apprenticeship to you.Would you want any money, if you lost your apprentice?'‘I'd never stand in Pip's way, never, 'said Joe, staring.‘The answer is no.’‘Don't try to change that answer later, ’said MrJaggers. ‘Now, what I have to say, and remember, I'm only an agent, I don't speak for myself, is that this young man has great expectations.’Joe and I gasped, and looked at each other.‘I have been told to say that he will be very rich when he is older. In addition, the person who sent me wants the young man to be removed from his home and educated as a gentleman who expects to inherit a fortune.'My dream had come true. Miss Havisham was making me rich!‘Now, Mr Pip, ’continued the lawyer, ‘there are two conditions.The first is that you always use the name of Pip.The second is that the name of the person who has been so generous to you must remain a secret, until that person chooses to tell you.You are forbidden to ask any questions or try to discover who the person is.Do you accept these conditions?My heart was beating fast as I whispered, ‘Yes '.‘Now, to details.I have been given enough money for you to live the life of a gentleman in London while you are studying .You will come to me to ask for whatever you need .I suggest Mr Matthew Pocket as a teacher.’I remembered that was the name of one of Miss Havisham 's relations, the one who did not visit her often.‘ You must buy some new clothes.Shall I leave you twenty pounds?’He counted twenty coins out of his large purse onto the table.‘And when can you come to London?Next Saturday?’I agreed, feeling very confused.He looked at Joe, who seemed even more confused.‘Well, Joe Gargery?Perhaps, I only say perhaps, I promi se nothing, ’he said, throwing his purse carelessly from one hand to another, ‘perhaps I have been told to give you a present when you lose your apprentice.'Joe put his great strong hand on my shoulder in the gentlest possible way. ‘Pip can go freely to fortune and happiness, he knows that.But if you think that money can ever pay me back for losing the little child-who came to the forge-and always the best of friends!’He could not continue.Dear good Joe!I was so ready to leave you, and so ungrateful to you!I can see you now, with your strong blacksmith's arm in front of your eyes, and your shoulders shaking, and tears on your cheeks. But at the time I was so excited by my good luck that I forgot what I owed to Joe. Mr Jaggers clearly thought Joe was a fool for refusing money, and left the house, reminding me to go straight to his office in London in a week's time.Joe told Biddy what had happened, and both congratulated me. They were very quiet and sad at first, because I would be leaving them, but I promised I would never forget them and would often return to visit them. Biddy tried to explain the good news to my sister, but the poor woman could not under-stand.As Joe and Biddy became a little more cheerful, discussing my possible plans for the future, I became more miserable. Now that I could be a gentleman, as I had always wished, I was not sure if I wanted to leave my home, which was full of happy memories.That week passed slowly. I took a last walk through the churchyard to the marshes.At least I need never think about my convict again. No doubt he was dead by now.It was strange that the news of my expectations had not made me happier.When I went into town to order my new clothes, Mr Pumblechook was waiting for me at the door of his shop.‘My dear friend, if you will allow me to call you that, ’ he cried, shaking both my hands, ‘let me congratulate you on your fortune!Nobody deserves it more than you!’He seemed somuch more sensible than before that I agreed to have lunch with him.‘When I think, ’ he said happily, ‘that I, Pumblechook, was able to help in my small way, by taking you to play at Miss-’‘Remember, ’I stopped him, ‘we must never say anything about the person who is being so generous to me.’‘Don't worry, trust me, my dear friend Have some wine, have some chicken!Oh chicken, you didn't think when you were running around on the farm that you would be lucky enough to be served to one who-May I?May I?’ and he jumped up to shake my hand again.As we drank our wine, Pumblechook reminded me of the happy times he and I had spent together during my childhood.I did not remember it quite like that, but I began to feel he was a good-hearted, sincere man.He wanted to ask my advice on a business matter.He said he was hoping to find a young gentleman who would put money into his business, and seemed very interested in my opinion.‘And may I?May I?’He shook hands with me again.‘You know, I always used to say, “That boy will make his fortune.He's no ordinary boy.”’He had certainly kept his opinion very secret, I thought.There was one person I really wanted to visit before going to London.Dressed in my new clothes I went to Miss Havisham's house, where her cousin opened the gate to me again.‘Well, Pip?’said Miss Havisham to me when she saw me.‘I'm going to London tomorrow, Miss Havisham, ’I said, choosing my words carefully, ‘and I wanted to say goodbye.I've been so lucky since I saw you last, and I'm so grateful for it!’‘Good, good!’ she replied, looking delightedly at her cousin who was staring at m y new clothes.‘I know about it.I've seen Mr Jaggers.So, a rich person has adopted you?’‘Yes, Miss Havisham.’She smiled cruelly at her cousin, who was looking rather ill.‘Remember to do what Mr Jaggers tells you.And you will always keep the name of Pip, won't you?Goodbye, Pip.’She gave me her hand and I kissed it.It seemed the natural thing to do.And so I left the old lady in her bride's dress in the candle-light, with the dusty furniture around her.On Saturday morning I was in such a hurry that I only said a quick goodbye to my family, before setting out to walk the few miles into town for the London coach.As I left the peaceful sleeping village, the mist over the marshes was rising, to show me the great unknown world I was entering.Suddenly I realized what I was leaving behind-my childhood, my home, and Joe.Then I wished I had asked him to walk with me to the coach, and I could not stop crying.Whenever the horses were changed on the journey, I wondered with an aching heart whether to get down and go back to say goodbye properly.But the mist had completely risen now, and my new world lay ahead of me.At that time everybody in England agreed that London was a wonderful city.So I was surprised to find it rather ugly, with narrow dirty streets, and people crowded into tiny houses.I was frightened by its huge size.At Smithfield, the meat market, I was shocked by the dirt andblood everywhere Then I came to Newgate Prison, where a drunk old man showed me the place where prisoners were hanged, and told me excitedly that four men would die there tomorrow.I was disgusted by this news.My first impression of London could not have been worse.However I managed to find Mr Jaggers’office, noticing that other people were waiting for the great man too.After some time he appeared, walking towards me.His clients all rushed at him together.He spoke to some, and pushed others away.One man held on to the lawyer's sleeve.‘Please, Mr Jaggers,’he begged, ‘my brother is accused of stealing silver.Only you can save him!I'm ready to pay anything!’‘Your brother?’repeated the lawyer.‘And the trial is tomorrow?Well, I'm sorry for you, and him.I'm on the other side.’‘No, Mr Jaggers!’ cried the man desperately, tears in his eyes.‘Don't say you're against him!I'll pay anything!’‘Get out of my way, ’said Mr Jaggers and we left the man on his knees on the pavement.Now Mr Jaggers turned to me and told me that on Monday I would go to Matthew Pocket's house to start my studies, but until then I would stay with his son, Herbert, who lived nearby.Wemmick, Mr Jaggers’ clerk, showed me the way to Mr Pocket's rooms.He was a short, dry man, with a square, expressionless face, between forty and fifty years old.His mouth was so wide that it looked like a post-box, and gave the impression of smiling all the time.‘Is London a very wicked place?’I asked him, trying to make conversation as we walked.‘You may be robbed or murdered in London.But that may happen to you anywhere, if there is any profit in it for the criminal.’I was not sure whether I looked forward to living in London, where people like Wemmick accepted crime so calmly.We arrived at Herbert Pocket's rented rooms.The building was the dirtiest I had ever seen, with broken windows and dusty doors.It stood in a little square with dying trees around it.I looked in horror at Mr

小说《远大前程》高中生英文读后感作文

小说《远大前程》高中生英文读后感作文

小说《远大前程》高中生英文读后感作文《远大前程》是小说家狄更斯的作品之一。

下面是小编为大家整理收集的小说《远大前程》高中生英文读后感作文,欢迎大家阅读!小说《远大前程》高中生英文读后感作文With so many famous masterpieces on the booklist,it is really a pretty hard job to chooseone to read first. After much hesitation and deeply thought, I finally decided to borrowGreat Expectations from the small library.Great Expectations is about love, family, and rejection as Pip and Miss Havisham have bothbeen rejected in certain ways. Pip is a boy around 13 years old,easy to fright,and goesthrough his life suffering lots of sadness. He is in love with a girl named Estella and wantsher to find his love, but for him being shy and not showing himself to her, it makes it veryhard for him.Great Expectations was the penultimate novel pleted by the most popular novelist ofVictorian England,Charles Dickens. Born in Kent,England, in 1812 to a family of modestmeans but great pretensions,Dickens’s early li fe was marked by both humiliation andambition. Dickens never forgot the period of financial crisis during his childhood,whenfollowing his father’s bankruptcy, he was taken out of school and forced to work in ashoepolish warehouse.Pip meets an escaped convict,Magwitch,and gives him food, in an encounter that is tohaunt both their lives.When Pip receives riches from a mysterious benefactor he snobbishly abandons his friendsfor London society and his“great expectations”.I set up my mind to select it for the reason that I have read abrief introduction of thismasterpiece in my high school English textbook before. In addition, a Tale of Two Citieswhich is also written by Charles Dickens, the outstanding and special English writer,left mea wonderful and deep impression,when I finished reading the marvelous story.Of course,Great Expectations didn’t let me down, either. What’s more,the whole structureof the novel is well and elaborately designed. The plot is extremely attractive and full ofunexpected twists. Quite a few characters have a distinguishable personality. Moreover,thosewords and sentences are so beautiful and meaningful that I even took them down carefully inmy notebook. By reading them no less than three times,I have learned not only some newphrases and sentences, but also a philosophy of life.Among the characters, which impressed me most are not Pip and Estella who should be regardedas the leading roles, but Joe and Magwitch. I feel awfully sorry that I was not brave enoughto read the original edition that is as thick as a brick. Otherwise, I may appreciate Joe andMagwitch more.Yes, they are not the main characters in the novel. However,what they saidand what they did deeply touched me. It’s interesting,isn’t it? They are quite theopposite guy s. One is a totally good man without the least bit of wickedness while the otheris a prisoner who is believed to have mitted every evil.I believe that everyone who reads the book is to like Joe. When he talked about his heavydrinking father who hit him a lot,he said he had a lot of love. Faced with his rude wife, hewould rather seem a bit weak or foolish than stand up to her and fight for himself. Knowingpeacockish Pip was ashamed of his uneducated manners, he left sadly and quietly. The worldrusheson over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness. But when hewas informed of Pip’s illness,he immediately came to take good care of Pip.He is alwayscontributing everything and requiring nothing. Such a man is Joe, kind, tolerant andselfless. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage,nothing so cruel and pitiless ascowardice," says a wise author.However,why do I appreciate Magwitch,the bad guy? You may wonder. Indeed, Magwitch did alot of evil things when he was young. But how can you be unmoved when you get to know thatthe old man kept himself going just by thinking of the boy who once did him a small favor?He lost his only daughter and Pip had no parents,so he considered himself as the boy’ssecond father, making up his mind to help his dear boy became a gentleman. He did every kindof job and led a hard life in Australia. At last he made a big fortune and promised himselfthat all the money would go to Pip.He could have led a better life in Australia ,but Ihechose to go back to London .with the simple intention of seeing Pip, he went back at the riskof being hanged! “whatever the fault he had from the start, remember, reader,he had a goodheart.” Joe used these words to describe his father. But I think these words can betterdescribe Magwitch. He lived with the fear of death all his life. Who shuts love out,in turnshall be shut outfrom love. However,thankfully,because Pip finally realized his goodheart, his ending was peaceful.Dickens has Pip as the writer and first person narrator of this account of his life'sexperiences,and the entire story is understood to have been written as a retrospective,rather than as a present tense narrative or a diary or journal. Still, thoughPip "knows" howall the events in the story will turn out,he uses only very subtle foreshadowing so that welearn of events only when the Pip in the story does. Pip does,however,use the perspectiveof the bitter lessons he's learned to ment acidly on various actions and attitudes in hisearlier life.I know how to fully understand this novel,twice is far from enough. Pip,Estella, MissHavisham,Biddy even Mr Wemmick,every single character has a story that is well worth myattention.I love this novel so much that I am determined to read the original edition oneday. Believe me. But before that day es,I will see the movie Great Expectations first.Search for knowledge, read more,sit on your front porch and admire the view without payingattention to your needs.《远大前程》英文读后感"Great Expectations" is the late works of Dickens, but also his most mature work. The title is ironic, it tells an orphan, Pip wants to be the ideal upper story of disillusionment, he eventually did not as a gentleman, of course, and there is no so-called Great Expectations.This book is an extremely exciting story closely the reader's heartstrings, and vividly describes the suffering of a continuous struggle with the fate of orphans Pip psychological history, at last he finally grasped the truth of life to become an ordinary person, and to shake hands with the first love reunion, was a complete ending."Great Expectations" The story has its unique features; there is a time to let the reader unable to stop feeling. Pip hero of this book, but also linked to other characters in a theme. The environment can change people's destiny, Pip is to be the environment change. The beginning, Pip was a kid how naive,easily the letter people, sympathetic.However, Pip had suffered the fate that met the Queen as a girl, this girl will be thorough affect his life. He began to look down on themselves, they began their own home environment and background feel inferior, "and I thought this house in mind, there is no hint of sunshine! The same time, their actions are more offensive and more looked down on his family." It was a very good scene of writing, in such a horrible room, look down upon himself. Is the magic do? Not! This is to be the one truth: Man is the product of the environment. Is the environment has changed Pip.Further, Pip, "good luck", the already possessed, and the non-go when the upper one. Pip asked Herbert to teach him manners and rules, shows that he was anxious to be a Londoner. However, no matter what Pip’s hearts of the good, you can still feel the. He secretly spending money to support the cause of Herbert, which shows that he is a good person, generous benevolence of friends, and never mean. Know that his benefactor turned out to be a fugitive; he began to evolve from the environment. "And the benefactor goodbye became heavy with the anxiety of."This shows that Pip began to care about the safety of the benefactor, and affection of the benefactor produced. "Even if we lack of money can no longer use the benefactor’s money." Indicates Pip heart good things started to recover in the end, he lived a mundane and real life. Finally, Pip and Yisidaila Stop hand, one out of the ruins, the vast heaven and earth being immersed in the quiet of the moon…… From the ruins to the night's fog and then the very beautiful moon, a symbol of Pip and Yisidaila love Trilogy began is not possible, and then is hazy, and finally themoonlight shines. This is a happy ending, finally no regrets.The language features, writing in the modus operandi, but there are many places that we can learn. "Rats have been eating it with his teeth, but there is more than sharp teeth of rats chewing on me." In order to describe the Miss Habersham suffering, wonderful! "A people the illusion of terror spread in my heart, as if I Yisidaila are beginning to rot … …" This is a classic literary description, to the effect of poetry."I'm suddenly feeling out of control, lying on the floor, straining to pull his hair on both sides." This sentence in particular to convey the character's psychological inner conflicts, he knew loved the wrong person, but still going to love. "London gave me the impression that a little bit chaotic, narrow roads, forming, but also very dirty." This is only a few strokes; he outlines the characteristics of London. Pip was in this environment, to become a "super person" two efforts.The author describes the Miss Habersham He's story, both compact and they are comprehensive, using a flashback approach. At this point, we have the old lady's situation is clear to her before the abnormal behavior to understand. "His words like lightning, so I look to see ourselves, and then disappointment, danger, shame and other consequences of the impact of coming to me, so I was almost breathing difficulties."Lightning in this analogy is very accurate, Magdalena is based on a series of swift and strong questioning reveals that he is the benefactor of Pip’s. Why Pip disappointments, danger, shame it? That is because the benefactor in his heart has always been a fan, he always felt the old lady, the result is a fugitive, he certainly disappointed. Contact with the fugitive is certainly dangerous, this point Pip clear. The fugitive's money than with anupper people's lives is also true that allows Pip ashamed of In the years went on, people began to change, in the author's pen, wrote a very natural throughout. Finally we all lived in common and not real life; this is what a perfect ending.远大前程英语读后感"Great Expectations" has been considered to be one of Charles Dickens’ most mature and relatively late works. Having experienced a wealth of human life, Dickens got a profound understanding of human-being, the surrounding environment and his life experiences while all his mature thinking and understanding were summarized into the book "Great Expectations".The original meaning of the work’s title in fact is a herita ge, but when it was translated into Chinese it gave me an impression that the title shows the hero of the story had Great Expectations. However, reading over the book I realized that this "Great Expectations" takes an ironic band――it should be said that th e theme of this work not only told the story of orphan Pip who wanted to be the ideal first-class disillusionment. If one does think so, he holds a wrong understanding of the great significance why Dickens creative the work.The hero Pip lived with his sis ter’s family. Though their life was hard, Pip didn’t wish to be a first-class person his vision was to be a blacksmith like his brother-in-law, his sister’s husband. The reason why he changed his mind and was eager to be a first-class person later was the changing of environment――he met Miss Harvisham, Estella and some other complex people. As we know one of Dickens's philosophy thoughts is environment takes a deep impact to humans’ ideological and the story expresses his view that different environment creates different people.In short, I think the work was not arbitrarily written, but was based on the 10 works before aggregating Dickens’ thoughts. What is more, Dickens had put his outlook on life, his views of philosophy and ethics into the great creation.远大前程读后感范文我想,将来肯定会多次用到“再度”,或者在我写过的文字的标题里,也会再度看到这个标题。

远大前程英文赏析

远大前程英文赏析

1. What significance does the novel’s title, Great Expectations, have for the story? In what ways does Pip have “great expectations”?2. For much of Great Expectations, Pip seems to believe in a stark division between good and evil, and he tends to classify people and situations as belonging to one extreme or the other: for instance, despite their respective complexities, he believes that Estella is good and the convict is evil. Yet, both socially and morally, Pip himself is often caught between extremes; his own situation rarely matches up to his moral vision. What is the role of moral extremes in this novel? What does it mean to be ambiguous or caught between extremes?For much of Great Expectations, Pip seems to believe in a stark division between good and evil, and he tends to classify people and situations as belonging to one extreme or the other: for instance, despite their respective complexities, he believes that Estella is good and the convict is evil. Yet, both socially and morally, Pip himself is often caught between extremes; his own situation rarely matches up to his moral vision. What is the role of moral extremes in this novel? What does it mean to be ambiguous or caught between extremes?his great expectation to raise his status and improve himself.Pip expects himself to become a gentleman. In doing so, he hopes to be wealthy, scholarly, mannerly, and deserving of Estella's love and admiration.In another sense, others place great expectations upon Pip. Magwitch sponsors Pip's education in London because he expects Pip to learn to be a better gentleman than Compeyson who was born a gentleman. Likewise, Joe has great expectations for Pip because he tries to raise him to be hard working and kind. Biddy, at first, expects Pip to be able to do great things with his intelligence, until she sees him begin influenced by Miss Havisham and Estella.Other characters in the book have expectations for Pip, but not necessarily "great" or "good" ones for the innocent protagonist.1. Pip: In Ch18, Jaggers announces,`I am instructed to communicate to him,' said Mr Jaggers, throwing his finger at me sideways, `that he will come into a handsome property. Further, that it is the desire of the present possessor of that property, that he be immediately removed from his present sphere of life and from this place, and be brought up as a gentleman -- in a word, as a young fellow of great expectations.'Pip mistakenly believes that it is Miss Havisham who has decided to transform him into a gentleman so that he will be able to marry Estella (Ch. 38). This is the source of all of Pip's problems and when he realises who his real benefactor is in Ch.39 he is too stunned to react:I could not have spoken one word, though it had been to save my life. I stood, witha hand on the chair-back and a hand on my breast, where I seemed to be suffocating -- I stood so, looking wildly at him, until I grasped at the chair, when the room began to surge and turn.The title of Dickens' novel "Great Expectations" is so obviously ironic. Pip's so called 'expectations' are exposed as being so empty and futile when he realizes that its a convict who has been providing for him so that he could pass off superficially as a'gentleman' and that he has actually been infatuated all these years with a murderess' [Molly] daughter!This was Dickens' original purpose in writing the novel. In a letter to his official biographer John Forster in October 1860 Dickens remarks about the "tragi-comic conception" of the novel. We are able to readily sympathize with Pip's 'expectations' not being fulfilled because all of us have high hopes and 'great expectations' which are often never fulfilled.To underscore this general feeling and theme of 'unfulfillment of great expectations' other characters in the novel also have 'great expectations' which are not fulfilled: 1. Miss Havisham has 'great expectations' of marrying Compeyson which are not fulfilled. In her bitterness in Ch. 11 she tells Pip who visits her on her birthday that she 'expects' to die on her birthday and hopes that by doing so an eternal curse will be laid upon Compeyson:`When the ruin is complete,' said she, with a ghastly look, `and when they lay me dead, in my bride's dress on the bride's table -- which shall be done, and which will be the finished curse upon him -- so much the better if it is done on this day!'But these "expectations" of hers are also not fulfilled (Chs. 49, 54).2. All the relations of Miss Havisham have "great expectations" of receiving a lot of money after her death which as 'expected' are not fulfilled (Ch.57).3. Similarly in Ch.9 soon after Pip has returned from his first visit to Miss Havisham's house, his sister and Pumblechook have their own 'expectations,' which are never fulfilled:while they sat debating what results would come to me from Miss Havisham's acquaintance and favour. They had no doubt that Miss Havisham would `do something' for me; their doubts related to the form that something would take. My sister stood out for `property.' Mr Pumblechook was in favour of a handsome premium for binding me apprentice to some genteel trade -- say, the corn and seed trade, for instance. Joe fell into the deepest disgrace with both, for offering the bright suggestion that I might only be presented with one of the dogs who had fought for the veal-cutlets. `If a fool's head can't express better opinions than that,' said my sister, `and you have got any work to do, you had better go and do it.' So he went.3) Many of the characters other than Pip have their own expectations as well. Discuss both Herbert Pocket and Pip's expectatons. Compare and contrast.Your browser does not support the IFRAME tag.Comments from readers:Herbert's expectations are different to Pips in that he does not raise his expectations, like Pip does. He wants simple things, like for Clara to marry him; a good life; no complications or distractions.How about the irony of the title?Who expects what in Great Expectation s? Are the expectations really "great"?Pip is the main character that has expectations in this novel. After he meets Miss Havisham and Estella, he becomes discontented with his station in life. Estella describes his hands as "rough," and her learning and beauty intimidates him. He realizes, for the first time, that there could be other things out there in the world, and he aspires to them. He is embarassed by his lowly station. He develops expectations in regards to his life; he wants to rise above his circumstances and become a gentleman. The expectations refer to both money, and his station in life. They are tied together, hand-in-hand. His expectations are also tied to Estella herself--he feels that if he can rise to her expectations of what a gentleman should be, then he can have her love. He expects to be with her, to marry her, and to love her. He expects to earn her love in return through raising his own station in life. Pipfeels that if he can't have these things, he can't be happy; happiness is his end goal, and he feels that he knows how to attain it.Upon the receipt of money, Pip does indeed step into circumstances that allow him to become educated, refined, and a "gentleman." However, he learns that those things that he had been expecting were not that great after all. Having money alienates him from his true friends and family, brings out people who want to take advantage of him, and doesn't, in the end, get him Estella. Pip thought that money could help him to attain his expectations of happiness, but they didn't. If happiness is indeed the end goal, Dickens asserts that money is not the way to get it.I hope that those thoughts helped; good luck!At the beginning of the book, Pip does not have many expectations. He expects to be a blacksmith like Joe since that is what is available to him. However, his encounter in the graveyard with the convict changes things. He promises to bring food, a file, etc. and not to tell what he's seen. He keeps his promise, and then suddenly he is told he has a sort of trust fund. This will allow him to go to the city, become educated, work in a business that doesn't leave him covered in ashes and soot, and dress like a gentleman. He is able to live with dignity--even though Joe's tenderness and ability to connect with people prove to be more dignified than what Pip becomes as a man of means.A "young fellow of great expectations" simply means he has the money to do something more than what was originally planned for him. He has risen a rung or two on the social ladder.The reason Charles Dickens titled it so was because Pip had had a hard life in so short a lifetime, and when he supposedly came into good fortune, he had high hopes of a better life--an education, a good home, plenty to eat, nice clothes to wear. But the greatest hope of all was the love of Estella, who spurned him constantly. It was always his greatest dream that she could love him and in the end, after much suffering, she final I would say that Pip gets some of his great expectation, but not all of it.The main part of Pip's great expectation is that he will become a gentleman and a man with money. This part of his expectation comes true as he becomes much more (economically and socially) than he was at the start of the book.However, Pip does not get this in the way he expects. He gets it because of the help of a convict, not Miss Havisham.In addition, Pip does not get Estella the way he thinks he will at the beginning of the book. He starts out thinking they will marry, but that does not happen.ly did.When they first meet, Estella treats Pip horribly. She makes fun of his appearance, his stature (social status) and how he speaks. She mentions his clothing and his thick-soled shoes. She repeats the phrase "common boy" when referring to him or even speaking directly to him. Then she teases him for calling the Jacks (in a deck of cards) Knaves.In fact, she seems eager to make him cry. Miss Havisham raised her to be cruel and reject any form of love. She herself was never taught to love or how to feel loved. So her first encounter and many more after that with Pip are all very hard on him. He so badly wants to win her over, only to finally realize that she will never have him.The moral theme of “Great Expectations” is very basic. It is an old moral theme that has been around as long as man has walked on this earth. Pip, and the reader, learns that affection, loyalty, and conscience are more important than social advancement, wealth, and class. Charles Dickens creates this theme and the novel isbased on Pip learning this very lesson. Pip spends the novel exploring ideas of ambition and self-improvement. Pip is an idealist and if he can think it up, and if it is better than what he has, he wants it. When he first sees Satis House, he decides he wants to be a wealthy gentleman; when he thinks of his immorality, he tries to be better; when he realizes that he cannot read, he longs to learn how. Pip's desire for self-improvement creates “great expectations” about his future.There are many moral lessons in this novel. The main one is that wealth cannot bring happiness. and that appearances can misrepresent reality. When Pip visit the Satis House, everything contradicts what Pip's definition of rich. It is a worn-old house and sunshine never comes in the house. Estella has been raised to led an unhappy life, cruel and incapable of love. In later chapters, Pip will meet a convict, Magwitch. During that time, convicts are regard as being bad. However, Magwith turns out to be a compassionate man who works hard to give "expectations" to Pip in return for his kindness Pip shown when Pip give food to him many years ago.In Pip, the reader sees several of the themes of the novel: obsession, desire, greed, guilt, ambition, wealth, and good and evil. Pip leaves his state of childish innocence and "grace" and descends into sin on his quest to gain his desires. He wants it all and he wants no costs. Yet Dickens does not make him totally bad, instead leaving the truly good qualities asleep underneath. They surface as his guilt over his snobbery to Joe and Biddy, over dragging Herbert into debt, and about trading Joe for a convict's money. Even during his worst moments, Pip manages to show some good, as, for example, when he sets Herbert up in business. His road back to grace starts when Magwitch reveals himself as the source of Pip's rise in social stature. The irony that the source of his gentility is from a creature more socially detestable than the uneducated Joe is not lost on Pip. It is the slap in the face that brings Pip out of the fantasy world he has been living in. His dream has suddenly been seen in the light of day, and now he knows what it has cost him.Pip, brought up by his sister “by hand”, is a poor but kind o rphan with a sensitive and timid heart of tenderness. One arranged trip to Satis House makes great changes in Pip, which forges the first memorable link on the long chain of his life. Since then, his dignity is tramped and his heart is attracted by Estella, the adopted daughter of Miss Havisham (the owner of Satis house), who is marvelously charming, completely attractive and terribly arrogant. In Pip’s eye, she is well educated and noble, while Pip himself is poor and coarse. Therefore, in Pip’s mind, a g reat expectation to be higher and richer is necessarily needed to stuff the great gap existed there as the stumbling block of his romantic desire and the shameful source of humbleness. By accident, supported by a man unexpected and unknown, he is able to l ive in London as a gentleman. However, all these promising points don’t promise him a fulfillment of his expectation. Finally, waking up from dreams and reality of mistakes, he only finds his burning affections receive nothing but pains, his life in London gives him no more than a habit of squandering money and a lot of debt, and a piece of guilty to Joe for his moral depravation./k expectation as gloomy and frustrating. There are both inner factors and reasons from the outside. This passage will try to discovery them.Pip’s first trip to Satis House is memorable to him. It leaves many heavy and dark marks in his young soul of nothingness, as well as numerous influences on his life that lasts long and affects him deeply. This trip opens his mind to the knowledge of another living different from his. The former is richness and nobleness; while the latter of his own is poverty and humbleness. He gets a glimpse of the richness beyond poverty, and suffers disdain from the noble. And his actual experience that he, as a symbol of poverty, is terribly trampled by Estella, the emblem of richness, leads him into an unhealthy morality that poverty is a state to be despised andhumbleness is a natural product before richness. Therefore, he falls into Estella’s way of thinking and implants it into his mind. This imparts a fresh belittling opinion (actually one kind of pure prejudice) on what he is and what he has. Just like Estella’s despising words, he also despises himself as a common boy with “coarse hands and thick b oots”, and regards his life as a low—lived, bad way. He “began at heart to hate his trade and to be ashamed of his home”, (P101) and even extends this kind of hate to Mr. Joe (his best companion and supporter) by wondering whyhe is not a gentleman.Basically, it is not his poverty that makes him humble, but his newly developed morality attaches prejudice to poverty. He looks down upon himself because hismind has been richness-orientated while his body is still in poverty. From then on, He has been in the way that Estella thinks, and tries best to be in the way that Estella lives. From then on, he feels humble, and tries best to displace this feeling of humbleness with another feeling of superiority from richness.With this imitated way of thinking implanted in mind, Pip, of course, wants to change all of these, to stave off any trace of poverty and to establish himself as a gentleman. Here his hate and belittling himself just due to poverty, as well as his expectation to be out of poverty and into richness avails us of a clear and close look into his inner mind: to be poor is to be humble, while to command money is to command superiority.Moreover, his rejection of what he is and what he has is also a negation of himself, is also a producer of inferiority and a killer of confidence. Therefore, the more he cares about his poverty and coarseness, the more inferior and less confident he is. That’s why when he stands before Estella, firstly he feels shy and humble, and later is humble enough to fell submissive to her and trembles nervously. The once poverty in body labels poverty in mind for all. And the lack of confidence and the obsession of inferiority lead to the deadly shortage of the key mental support for his expectation. It’s hard to imagine or believe that a heart of weakness can make its expectation fulfilled. In this sense, Pip’s expectation to be higher and richer is also a mental process to make himself more inferior and less confident. On one hand, he shapes a dream to be higher, while on the other, he gradually slips into mental impotence. On one hand, his dream becomes bigger, on the other, his heart gets weaker. Therefore, under these values, his expectation is an external self—improvement, while his feeling inferior is nothing but internal self—destruction. He unconsciously and inevitably sows the seeds of self-destruction at the very beginning of his self-improvement.In a word, darkness brings people a pair of dark eyes to search for light, while poverty renders Pip a pair of poor eyes to be little himself. Life, besides status, entails so many other aspects. But Pip, just for his poverty, negates what he is and despises what he has completely. He regards poverty as enemy, and at the same time he glorifies the richness, putting them separately o n the two extremes of life’ value, with one in the hell, the other in the heaven. And his soul is just wandering between the hell and the heaven. Virtually, these values to abhor poverty seriouslyon one hand and to consecrate richness on the other is a kind of unbalance, is a distortion of reality. And accordingly leads Pip’s mind into a status of unbalance and distortion.who treats him coldly and contemptuouslytremendous grief and remorse. Several years go by, until one night a familiar figure barges i nto Pip’s room—the convict, Magwitch, who stuns Pip by announcing that he, not Miss Havisham, is the source of Pip’s fortune. He tells Pip that he was so movedby Pip’s boyhood kindness that he dedicated his life to making Pip a gentleman, and he made a fortune in Australia for that very purpose.Pip is appalled, but he feels morally bound to help Magwitch escape London, as the convict is pursued both by the police and by Compeyson, his former partner in crime. Pip’s idealism often leads him to perceive the world rather narrowly, and his tendency to oversimplify situations based on superficial values leads him to behave badly toward the people who care about him. When Pip becomes a gentleman, for example, he immediately begins to act as he thinks a gentleman is supposed to act, which leads him to treat Joe and Biddy snobbishly and coldly.On the other hand, Pip is at heart a very generous and sympathetic young man, a fact that can be witnessed in his numerous acts of kindness throughout the book (helping Magw itch, secretly buying Herbert’s way into business, etc.) and his essential love for all those who love him. Pip’s main line of development in the novel may be seen as the process of learning to place his innate sense of kindness and conscience above his immature idealism.Ambition and self-improvement take three forms in Great Expectations—moral, social, and educational; these motivate Pip’s best and his worst behavior throughout the novel. First, Pip desires moral self-improvement. He is extremely hard on himself when he acts immorally and feels powerful guilt that spurs him to act better in the future. When he leaves for London, for instance, he torments himself about having behaved so wretchedly toward Joe and Biddy. Second, Pip desires social self-improvementSignificantly, Pip’s life as a gentleman is no more satisfying—and certainly no more moral—than his previous life as a blacksmith’s apprentice.Throughout the novel, social class provides an arbitrary, external standard of value by which the characters (particularly Pip) judge one another. Because social class is rigid and preexisting, it is an attractive standard for every character who lacks a clear conscience with which to make judgments—Mrs. Joe and Pumblechook, for instance. And because high social class is associated with romantic qualities such as luxury and education, it is an immediately attractive standard of value for Pip. After he is elevated to the status of gentleman, though, Pip begins to see social class for what it is: an unjust, capricious standard that is largely incompatible with his own morals. There is simply no reason why Bentley Drummle should be valued above Joe, and Pip senses that fact. The most important lesson Pip learns in the novel—and perhaps the most important theme in Great Expectations—is that no external standard of value can replace the judgments of one’s own conscience. Characters such as Joe and Biddy know this instinctively; for Pip, it is a long, hard lesson, the learning of which makes up much of the book.。

《远大前程》英文赏析

《远大前程》英文赏析The great expectation of Pip and MagwitchWe all know that chapter 39 is the turning point of the whole novel. Pip knows that his sponsor is not Miss Havisham, but the escaped prisoner Magwitch, who is saved by Pip. This truth makes Pip’s great expectation shattered. From the context, we can see that “the great expectation” is a kind of ambition from both Pip and Magwitch. It is such an ambition that hold up the life of both two people and bring a lot of change to their character. And the ambition is also the indication of one’s life.First, let’s see Pip’s ambition. Although the text don’t illustrate it clearly, we can infer from several details. At the beginning of the text, Pip states that “I had a taste for reading, and read regularly so many hours a day.” This state can fully demonstrate that Pip has a strong eager to learn knowledge, which means that he wants to become a real gentleman in the upper class. And when Pip is told that his benefactor is Magwitch, rather than Miss Havisham. He is shocked, disappointed as well as heart-broken. He repeats “Estella, Estella”, which tells us that his intention to become a gentleman was because of Estella, he wants to be able to match with her. From the above, we can conclude that Pip’s ambition is to be a gentleman and get access to Estella.The great expectation describes not only Pip’s ambition, but also other people’s ambition, including that blacksmith Joe’s, Pip’s friend Herbert and his benefactor Magwitch’s.Let’s take Magwitch’s ambition in the text for example. I think his is rather complicated than Pip’s. There are two mainly ambitions: one is that he wants to repay Pip for saving his life, another is that he wants to show his greatness for making a little boy into a gentleman in upper class, which is also a kind of dissatisfaction to the society. Just as he mentioned in the text, “ I tell it, fur you to know as that there hunted dunghill dog wot you kept life in, got his head so high that he could make a gentleman”. The society treat him as a nasty dog and he is looked down upon those people in the upper class. But he has an ability to turn a village boy into a gentleman, and he thinks himself is nobler and greater than those people. He uses his action to satirize them.The ambition in people’s heart is like a guiding light in their way. As one’s ambition changes, people’s behavior may change accordingly and unconsciously. Pip studies hard in order to get access to Estella. But at the same time, bad characters like selfishness and mammonism arises from him. In the front part of the text, when Pip sees Magwitch, he pays attention to his clothing first and emphasizes his substantially dress, but roughly. Suppose if Magwitch is not well-dressed and looks like poor just as the first time they meet, will Pip accept him and let him in? When Pip recognized Magwitch, his astonishment is more than his pleasance and he supposes there will be no connection between them. Why Pip becomes so indifferent? It is because of the “different circumstances” hementioned in the text. The circumstances that he is an upper class member now and he cannot have any connection with underclass people, let alone an escaped prisoner. Between social class and old relationship, he chooses social class. We can say that it is money that tempts him and makes him indifferent, or the money distorts his ambition, which misleads his behavior.To conclude, I think Pip is more misfortunate than any other people. It is not because he is an orphan or he lost his money in the end, it is because he is treated as a tool by other people, unknowingly. He is treated as a money machine by his sister when he is little, and he is played by Estella as a tool to please Miss Havisham. Later, although being endowed with a large fortune, Pip is indeed an example who is made by Magwitch to manifest his greatness and to revenge to the world. Pip’s great expectation is made by Miss Havisham, Estella, Magwitch and himself, and ruined by them.。

远大前程人物分析

远大前程人物分析

The Analysis of Main Characters Pip, the protagonist of Great Expectation, is an orphan and he lives a humble existence with his hot-tempered sister and her strong but gentle husband, a blacksmith named Joe Gargery. In such a living condition, we can easily imagine that how poor life little Pip lives. Besides, he can’t be a healthy boy both in mind ad in body. From this book, we can infer that there are three most important periods which affect Pip’s characters apparently in his life. First period: he is a boy and then he becomes apprenticed to Joe when he grows up. Second period: he is sent to accept the gentlemen education and what he does there. Third period: his benefactor appears and his great expectation is shattered. It is in those three periods that his characters change greatly. I would like to analyze them one period by one period. In the first period, he has kind of good qualities, such as endurance, sympathy, and ambition. For his endurance, there are some good examples. Finishing reading he the whole book, we can clearly know that Pip is a poor orphan. And nobody cares his feelings except Joe, therefore, he adapts himself to others’ blame and obey their order as if these are his duties. For example, when he is threatened by Magwitch, a prisoner, and he is forced to get some food and a file from his sister’s house, no doubt, he does it as what the prisoner demands and keeps it a secret after that. Perhaps, he guess that if he tells it to his sister and Joe, they will not believe in him and they will not be able to protect him from being hurt by that horrible man. Another example, when he is brought to Miss Havisham’s splendid house, seeing the gloomy and big house, and Miss Havisham’s pale faces, even more, Estella’s laughing and indifference, he faces these bravely. And after he comes back, he pretends to have a good time them when his sister asked him. Still does he visit them once a week on Saturday without an exception. In addition, he helps Magwitch, he gets more food as much as possible for him although he is unwilling to steal food and that file. At the end of the story, after he knows the truth that Miss Havisham always takes advantage of him to revenge what she suffers those years by a man named Compeyson, he doesn’t abandon her. On the contrary, he visits herlike before out of sympathy. What’s more, he has a great ambition of being a gentleman. After he meets Estella, and from then on, he becomes eager to acquire more knowledge. From the book, we know he leans from a kind-hearted girl Betty in order to have more chances to get access to her. Although he fails to win her love, he never forgets this ambition. In the second period, and it is a period of great changes of his life. At this time, he is an adult, and really some great changes occurs on him. He is no longer the one like before. To some extent, he becomes in disciplined and selfish in such a fine condition, which he himself is not aware of. He begins to use money casually and generously, which leads to his great debts beyond his ability to pay back, while he can’t help using that up quickly. His character is his selfishness. After he reaches London, he starts a new lifestyle, and he can’t wait to become one member of the upper class. And because of this, he soon forgets his sister, Joe and other ralatives ad friends. Especially, when Joe writes a letter and tells him that he will come to visit him, but Pip rejects with a good excuse, which hurts Joe a lot. Despite this bad character, he also has a good one, and that is his loyalty and kindness to his best friend. As we know, during this luxurious life in London, he meets a young man who is his playmate Herbert. Then he develop friendship with him, and he always helps him with money and other things as long as he can. In the last period, that is his repentance after knowing his wrong doing before. He thanks for Magwitch for his kindness and makes every effort to help him escape. Later, when Magwitch is sentenced to death, he doesn’t abandon him, oppositely, he takes good care of him during that hard time, until Magwitch passed away. What he does properly shows us that he doesn’t totally lose his way. Recovering from his illness, he begins his new career with his friend Hebert though his great expectation is shattered. In a way, such an action indicates that he own a strong will in his inner side, which can’t be defeated easily. During the process of his growth, this is the very character I appreciate. As the story itself shows that he is an orphan brought up by his sister, maybe it is just a dream for him and his family. However, he doesn’t bend to the fate, and finally he becomes a real gentleman as Magwicth hopes. For a man, that kind of pursuit is a big challenge. Iwonder if you pay attention to his pursuit of love when you read this story. In my point of view, he really loves Estella. Although she laughs at and makes jokes on him, even regardless of his proposal she marries another man upon whom he looks down for his poor quality, and he never stop his pursuit of her—his true love.After finishing reading this story, we can definitely make a conclusion that Estella is a role full of irony. Although she is adopted by a rich woman Miss Havisham, and she acquires the best lady education, she can’t change the fact that she belongs to the lowest class for her father’s sake. Also what education she gets serves as a tool to break men’s hearts as Miss Havisham planed. Even as a child, she looks down upon others who seems to be poor and ignorant, because she thinks that she is brought up by Miss Havisham, so she is superior to them. Therefore, others should bend to her as if they are her tool if she is not happy or she feels lonely. However, as far as I am concerned, actually she is the poorest one. Even though she lives a rather rich life, she doesn’t understand that Miss Havisham considers her as her tool to break men’s hearts. Naturally, in that kind of gloomy environment, gradually she becomes cold, indifference, and arrogant. For example, she is cold to Pip all the time. I can’t say that she doesn’t understand Pip’s love, but as it is, she still can’t accept him because of her arrogance and coldness. For her, maybe she thinks that love should be based on fine wealth and high social status. And she would not like to marry to a man without these two. Another example, when Miss Havisham refuses her requirement of marring to a rich man, she doesn’t care about what Miss Havisham’s feelings and quarrels with her and leaves her resolutely. This example shows us her indifference to people, especially the one who once brought her up. However, she is not a total tool as Miss Havisham hopes. Especially, after she suffers a lot during her unlucky marriage. As she tells Pip in the end of this story, “ now, when suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but – I hope- into a better shape. ” from these words, we can infer that she changes a lot and becomes more mature and wilder than before. Perhaps experiences is the best lecture than we have ever had before.Joe is the very person that I really like. He is a blacksmith in a small village, however, he has more good qualities than those who have high social status. Such as Miss Havisham, and Jaggers who is Miss Havisham’s lawyer. Joe is king-hearted, generous, loyal, and honest. At the very beginning of this story, we find that he is the only person who cares Pip so much. I just can’t imagine if there is no Joe, how miserable life poor Pip will suffer. As we get, his wife is a hot-tempered woman, and she is the host of this family. Whatever she does to him, Joe never lose his temper and never scold her. After she lose her ability to live after that accident, he looks after her patiently without any complains. In the world, we know, he is the only person that is willing to do anything for Pip. Even though Pip hurts him again and again, he forgets him and still cares him like before. These kinds of good qualities also have an effect o Pip during the process of his growth. Another character of his I also like very much, and that is his sense of satisfaction. Although his wife is hot-tempered and not beautiful at all in Pip’s word, Joe always tells Pip that his wife is very beautiful and diligent. Another example, as a blacksmith, he doesn’t feel shameful as Pip thinks, and he never intend to change his job, and he remains this kind of lifestyle. And these examples indicate that he is satisfied with his wife, his job, and this kid of satisfaction seems to bring him what he wants. Other people may not as happy as he is although they have enough wealth.I don’t intend to refer to his commitment when he was young, for “no one is perfect”. The most important thing is that he knows how to make up. When he is caught by policemen and deports at the very beginning of the story, he tries to make money as much as possible to requite Pip for his favor. It is he that left all his money to Pip ad makes him a gentleman. From this, we clearly understand Magwitch more, except his commitment, he is grateful to those who have helped him when he is in trouble. As a prisoner, he is different from the others because he has a great goal. and he plans to make a real gentleman different from Compeyson, who is a so-called gentleman. In order to prove that he himself is better than Compeyson, he makes Pip a gentleman no matter how hard life he will face. Fortunately, he realizes his dream.。

英语论文 浅析《远大前程》主要人物性格变化的内外因素

摘要英国是一个历史文化悠久的古老国家,从伊比利亚等早期居民时代到凯撒大帝统治的罗马时代,再到诺曼征服,文艺复兴,工业革命,大英帝国一路收获的不仅是经济的强大,更有无与伦比的绚烂文化。

这其中,莎士比亚独占鳌头,唯独十九世纪批判现实主义杰出代表,小说家狄更斯可与之媲美。

此文正是关于狄更斯代表作《远大前程》的分析。

狄更斯是十九世纪英国最伟大的小说家,狄更斯这不仅是因为他非凡的观察力和想象力,文章能牢牢抓住人物的性格特征,在人物塑造当中赋予角色独特的个性与生命,更在于他的小说不仅真实地反映了整整一代人的生活经历,而且生动地揭示了19 世纪中叶整个英国的社会现实,其深度与广度远远超过了同时代的其它大部分作品。

《远大前程》是狄更斯晚期一部重要的作品,可以说是集批判现实主义小说之大成。

小说围绕主人公匹普成长历程展开描写,叙述了匹普“远大前程”的幻灭过程,事实证明其在纸醉金迷的上流社会里所追逐浮华都毫无价值。

为了使人们更好的理解这部作品,并更清楚的看到狄更斯作品中批判现实主义的强大力量,本文旨在对他的《远大前程》中各主要人物的性格发展的影响因素进行分析。

So Pip was what everybody called me. I lived in a small village in Essex with my sister, who was over twenty years older than me...With the words, we are into a story: This article is about to analysis Dickens' masterpiece "great expectations”. Dickens was named the nineteenth century Britain greatest novelist, not only because his special powers of observation and imagination, but his article can hold characteristics into unique individual character and life. His novels not only reflect the whole generation of life experience, but also vividly reveal the picture of middle age of the nineteenth century, and the whole of the UK social reality. Their depth and breadth are far more than the contemporary other works. "Great expectations" is an important work written by Dickens in his old age, we can say this is the greatest achievement of critical realism. This novel describes around the hero Pip, and his great expectations of disillusion process, through the facts he finally realized his target for the flashy life in a luxury and dissipation in polite society was of no value.Chapter I Dickens' Cultural Position and the Content ofthe "Great Expectation "1.1 The Important Status of DickensDickens is the most significant novelist of the English. In English history of culture, there is one peak that cannot be surpassed by any other figures. Dickens is the only comparable outstanding figure with William Shakespeare.Dickens is the greatest novelist in 19th century, critical realism outstanding delegates. His novels is not only a true reflection of the whole generation of life experience, but vividly reveals the mid 19th century Britain's entire social reality, the depth and breadth is far beyond the contemporary most other works .Dickens’s later work Great Expectations (1861), which is considered as his artistic master piece, is the most perfectly constructed of all Dickens’s novels. “Surely the characters in Great Expectations are the greatest collection in all of English fiction.”(Dickens 279)1.2 The Main Content of the "G reat Expectation”Dickens is one of the world's best-loved writers, and Great Expectations may be Dickens' most autobiographical work. Although an earlier novel, David copperfield, followed the facts of Dickens' life more closely, the narrator David seems a little too good to be true. The narrator of Great Expectations, Pip, is, in contrast, a man of many faults, who hides none of them from the reader. If Pip is a self-portrait, Dickens must have been a reservoir of inferiority complexes, guilt, and shame.The beginning of the novel is set shortly after Dickens' birthdates (1812) in the country of his childhood--the Kentish countryside by the sea (the nearest large town is Rochester, where Miss Havisham lives). Dickens wasn't an orphan, as Pip is, but he may well have felt like one. His parents were sociable, pleasant people, but when Charles, who was the eldest boy, was nine, the Dickens’s pulled up roots and moved to London to try to live more cheaply. Charles was appalled by the cramped, grubby house they lived in there, and even more as hamed when his father was arrested and taken to debtors' prison. “The rest of the Dickens’s were allowed to move into prison with their father, but twelve-year-old Charles had to live alone.” (Ashley 9)In spite of his depression, Dickens managed to include in Great Expectations the untranscended comedy he was known and loved for. His driving need to please his public kept him on balance. The novel's themes, however, are very serious. He writes about human nature itself, a mixture of misery, joy, hope, and despair. Dickens wrote it because his vision of life was growing complex, and he was too great a genius to simplify it. Luckily, he was also a great enough genius to write a book that people could enjoy. Though Dickens bared his psychological problems in this novel, he was still trying to reach out to his readers, to make them see their own lives more clearly. Perhaps this is why people love Dickens--because he is so human, so honest, and so much likes all of us.In this novel, Dickens set the beginning in a village cemetery, a small boy, Pip, is accosted by a runaway convict Magwitch who demands food and a file to saw off his leg iron. Pip helped him. Not long after this, Pip is invited to the gloomy home of rich, eccentric Miss Havisham, who wants a boy to "play" for her amusement. But Pip's real role at MissHavisham's turns out to be as a toy for Miss Havisham's adopted daughter, Estella, who has been raised with one purpose--to break men's hearts, Pip falls in love with Estella and becomes self-conscious about his low social class and unpolished manners. From then on, his abiding dream is to be a gentleman.Then a London lawyer, Jiggers, comes to the village to tell Pip that he has come into a fortune from an anonymous source. Finally, he came to know that it was Magwitch who helped him. (Blamers 23) Back in London, Pip learns that Magwitch once had a baby girl, but she was abandoned by her mother. Piecing together evidence, Pip realizes with shock that Estella was that baby girl. Later, he accepted a job in an overseas branch of Herbert's office. Returning to England many years later, Pip visits Miss Havisham's house, which has been pulled down. Estella is there, too. As they walk away hand in hand, it looks as though they would finally get together.Chapter II Several Main Characters’ PersonalityDevelopment Process2.1 The Original Characteristics of the Main Figures"Great Expectation” contains a lot of characters, such as Pip; his sister, Mrs. Joe Gargery; the town blacksmith Joe; Mr. Wopsle; Mr. and Mrs. Hubble ; Miss Havisham, eccentric old lady who lives up town ; Estella , Miss Havisham's snooty , beautiful daughter ; Biddy ; Orrick ; V ompeyson ; Abel Magwitch ; Miss Skiffins and so on . In my paper, I focus on three main figures .They are Pip, Joe Gargery, and Miss Havisham.2.1.1 The Original Characteristic of PipThe novel begins at the church graveyard on Christmas Eve. Pip informs us that he is an orphan and lives in the marsh country. (Julie 29) An escaped convict appears and threatens Pip. He commands Pip to bring him a file and vittles (food) or he'll cut Pip's throat. Although Pip is scared to death, and knows clearly that the man is a escaped dangerous prisoner, he goes back home to steal food and even a bottle of brandy for him, and gives him a smooth file to help him to cast off the iron chain. On Pip's way to the church graveyard, he imagines that all the animals are sneering and blaming him. The leopard cat hung in the food cupboard is calling Joe wake up to seize the thief, and the cattle are talking about his misconduct and scoring him, which are the typical illusion of a naive little kid. So at the first place Pip is described as a kind hearted boy and full of sympathy. (Douglas 19)2.1.2 The Original Characteristic of Joe GargeryJoe is Pip’s brother-in-law, but there is a big gap in their ages. He actually plays the role of Pip’s father. But this father is somewhat different because he in fact has authority in the family run by Mrs. Joe. Compared with Pip, Joe is only a fellow-sufferer of Mrs. Joe’s cruelty. Joe’s situation and influence is too feeble.He is an honest, industrious, mild, good-natured and easy-going dear fellow. Pip always treats him as a large species of child, and as no more than his standard. He protects and loves Pip. Joe is not well educated and even has difficulty in spelling his own name, but Joe encourages Pip to learn. Joe is also very forgiving. When talking about the causes of his tolerance of Mrs. Joe, Joe says: "I'm dead afraid of going wrong in the way of not doingwhat's right by a woman, and I'd fur rather of the two go wrong the other way, and be a little ill-conveniences myself. I wish it was only me that got put out, Pip; I wish there won’t no tickler for you, old chap; I wish I could take it all on myself."(Dickens 101)From this part of novel we can clearly see that Joe is the most kind-hearted person who is willing to do every thing to help pip, and to satisfy his wife. The image of Joe maybe the most direct influence positive factor that make Pip grow up as such an honest and simple boy that at the very ending, readers can have quite a beautiful picture.2.1.3 The original characteristic of Miss HavishamIn Great Expectation,the distinctive character Miss Havisham attracts critics’ and researchers’ attention, the articles at home referred to the analyses on the character and image of Great Expectation are numerous. In a typical study of this type, Li Guangming (2007) suggested that Miss Havisham is a victim of complex forces which from her family and thebourgeois society.Miss Havisham is an eccentric and most impressive woman that Dickens had ever created, who is even regarded as mad by some critics because of her appearance, behaviors and words. However, Mis s Havisham’s fate is tragic: She is jilted by Compeyson on their wedding day. From then on, she lived an eccentric life and aimed to revenge on all men.Through Pip's eye, we can find that at the first place Miss Havisham's cruelty lies in the following aspects:First, she is cruel to her relatives.Once she is cheated by Compeyson, she decides to maltreat those people around her. She believes in nobody but her lawyer. She let everything in her house stop and rot. In her mind, there is nothing but hatred and revenge. Every year on her birthday, her relatives would come to see her; on such occasions, she uses all kinds of sharp words to mock those relatives because of their greed for her wealth. By doing so, she can get satisfaction in seeing her relatives’ presence, compliment and greed to no avail.Secondly, she is also cruel to herself.Actually, she is the victim who suffered most. A woman using her whole life to revenge is so terrible and so pitiable. Everyone could experience setbacks in life and should learn from them; unfortunately Miss Havisham learns nothing from her failure but hatred feeling. Also her revenge is not for someone specific, but for the whole human race. She hates almost everyone just because she is wronged once. This is unreasonable. Thus, all the people around her suffered, especially those who were near her, like Pip and Estella. She seems to be a ghost in the bridal clothes with a wicked smile on her face. The revenge on men is also revenge onherself. What she had gained is far fewer than what she has given out-her youth, happiness, common thought…At last, even Estella treats her coldly. She is so disappointed and miserable. Just as the adage goes: As you brew, so you must drink.Whereas some critics feel that Miss Havisham has her own limitations, as Cai Wei (2006) claimed that her insane actions don’t start from her abnormal psychology but her double personality. (Jiang 35-39)Great Expectation“attracts the attention of scholars coming from a wide variety o f critical approaches: feminist, new historicist, psychoanalytic, and deconstructionist, as well as from more traditional historical and formalist perspectives.”(Patten. R. L. 24)2.2 The Development of Characteristics of the Main Figures2.2.1 The Development of Characteristics of PipIn Great Expectation, moral, social, and educational factors are the motivation of Pip’s best and his worst behavior throughout the novel. First, Pip hankers for moral self-improvement. He is extremely stringent on himself, and when he acts immorally he feels deeply guilt. It is these that push him to act better courtesy in the future. After he is being aided financially to live a high-level life in London, he is overcritical about himself on having behaved so wretchedly toward Joe and Biddy. So this gives a best improvement of Pip. To a extent, moral factor makes up the good Pip. Second, Pip hankers for social self-improvement. In love with Estella, he longs to become a member of her social class, and, is encouraged by Mrs. Joe and Pumblechook; He entertains fantasies of becoming a gentleman. Although seeking for higher and more decent social status should not be over criticized, at that time, theso-called upper society is full of rot and hypercritical figures. What they care is to compare unrealistically and fabricate rumors. So under this circumstances, Pip changes little by little and almost becomes a bad man, and then loses both his luck and his expectations. “Through this rise and fall, however, Pip learns how to find happiness.”(Mannion 39)He learns the meaning of friendship and the meaning of love and, of course, becomes a better person for it. Dickens used the growth of his characters in Great Expectations, particularly Pip in relation to others to write about social reform, and most effectively illustrated this by using the first-person narrative style.2.2.2 The Development of Characteristics of Joe GargeryWhen Pip comes back from the Sati Manor for the first time and lies to Mrs. Joe and Uncle Pumblechook, Joe advises that no lies in the future. Interviewed by Miss Havisham, Joe would not be lured by money. Joe is unselfish and warm-hearted. He is far away from Pip's London life because he never wants himself or his simple manners to embarrass Pip and to make Pip uncomfortable.Joe is always present in Pip's mind. He tends to remind Pip of the precious positive values. He is a man of simple dignity: he would not be lured by money. This is quite the opposite of his wife. Joe has strong sympathy for Pip. He says: “When I offered to your sister to keep company, and to be asked in church, at such times as she was willing and ready to come to the forge, I said to her: ‘And bring the poor little child. God blessed the little child, ‘I said to your sister’,there i s room for him at the forge!’’ The most unselfish love comes from Joe. He is so warm-hearted. He is the one who quietly protects little Pip by words oractions. When Pip’s gentleman dreams are broken, still Joe, comes to take care of him until he recovers.No matter how deep the gap is, Joe is always ready to be a good listener and helper for Pip. Even when Pip becomes an upper society gentleman, and sneers at him, but Joe still treats him as the same, and at the very ending, Joe helps him again by taking him home and repaying his debt. As Dickens himself said: It is not possible to know how far the influence of any amiable honest-hearted duty-doing man flies out into the world; but it is very possible to know how it has touched one’s self in going by. (Dickens 139)2.2.3 The Development of Characteristics of Miss HavishamThe social influence on Miss Havisham’s tragic destiny is too apparent to be neglected. Great Expectations is set in Victorian England, a time when great social changes were sweeping the nation. Although the Victorian Age meets a material prosperity, the polarization of wealth is widening and the class contradiction is becoming more serious, and this result in the corruption of money to human’s relationship. Marriage, love, courts, j ails are based on this. Also, The Victorian Age is a male-centered society, the idea that women should be subjective to men roots in women’s mind. Miss Havisham is just the victim of this society. She is abandoned on her wedding day, but she keeps the room like the day she got married, while on the other hand she tries every means to revenge men. Bearing these two conflictive thoughts in mind, Havisham certainly fails to live her own life out of the control or influence from male. She suffered greatly from the pain of love and her quest for revenge. As an ordinary woman, Miss Havisham can’t be independent from men and her fragile souls make her unableto envisage sufferings in life bravely .Thus the tragedy of Miss Havisham is inevitable.On the way she plays Pip, she step by step falls into the deepest hole of depression. Finally she set herself on fire, and it is Pip who rescues her out by burnt his arms. At last, Miss Havisham admits to Pip that she leads him on falsely and takes pity on him, and Miss Havisham becomes an invalid. Miss Havisham is the most tragically figure in all the foreign navels.Chapter III Analysis of the Inner and Outer Factors forthe Above Development3.1 The Inner FactorsThe hero Pip lost this parents since he was very young and Dickens narrators this in the first person tone asMy first name was Philip,but when I was a small child I could only manage to sayPip.So Pip was what every-body called me.I lived in a small village in Essex withmy sister,who was over twenty years older than me,and married to Joe Gargery,the village blacksmith.My parents had died when I was a baby,so I could notremember them at all,but quite often I used to visit the churchyard,abut a milefrom the village,to look at their names on their gravestones.My sister,Mr. Joe Gargery,was very proud of the fact that she had brought me up‘by hand’.Nobody explained to me what this meant,and because she had a hardand heavy hand,which she used freely on her husband as well as me,I supposedthat Joe and I were both brought up by hand.She was not a beautiful woman,beingtall and thin,with black hair and eyes and a very red face.She clearly felt that Joeand I caused her a lot of trouble,and she frequently complained about it.Joe,onthe other hand,was a gentle,kind man with fair hair and weak blue eyes,whoquietly accepted her scolding.(Dickens 1)We can see from here, in that era such an orphan brought up by his black sister , is impossible to obtain a very good education .The loss of the education and the familycircumstance gives the little Pip the dream to be a man like the brother-in-law, Joe. And, in fact, in this family, sister has the power authority on the home; brother-in-law is the only one who can "talk to trust each other." Readers can know from lines that, Dickens takes a great pain portraying little Pip. But even growing up in such a family full of domestic violence, he is still naive and simple and unadorned. Little Pip is a kind-hearted person, even facing the escaped prisoner.Miss Havisham changes all of this. When Pip insulted by Miss Havisham and her daughter Estella, he becomes not satisfied with his social status, and wants to be a high-class gentleman.We must pay attention to one philosophic thinking of Dickens. That is, he holds that environment has a great influence on personality, and different environment brings up different characters. We know the primary factor is the inner one, so we can infer safely that if Pip is a mature and obstinate gay not such a simple and unsophisticated young man, we may read another ending.For Miss Havisham who is determined to revenge every man, Pip is a quite suitable target to take advantage of and to let off. She on the one hand, asks her adopted daughter Estella to approach Pip actively and on the other hand let her to humiliate him at the same time. This plan is carried out successfully, and the young Pip is played as a puppet by the strings grasped by Miss Havisham and Estella.3.2 The Outer FactorsTo love Stella always make Pip to abhor myself,he begins to hate his ’rough hands and that has a thick skull boots. Just as Pip himself says, now I am looking down on these things, which did not irritate me before, but they do now. And they are really vulgar and coarse. At the same time he starts to complain that Joe is too uneducated and dose not give him a decent upbringing, and he becomes more and more suspect of his friends who are so close to him.We should say, as a child, Pip has some complain before vanity is understandable. After all, it also conforms to the human nature. At the same time, from here we also see that in the Great Expectations, the descriptions of the characters are more exquisite, authentic, than ever, and an inner world of characters is explored more firmly and thoroughly by Dickens.Compared to Dickens' previous characters, the main characters images are richer and lifelike performance that author has been out of the oneness and certainty of characters. The author's mature also makes the characters closer to reality, and reflect better the social situation at the times. Looking at Pip, we can't see Dickens' description of profiling of his early works or see the author directly defined character, but a character has its own behavior, its independent inner activities. To understand and define the figures' right and wrong, readers has to judge and evaluate them themselves.Chapter IV ConclusionDickens, the most distinguishable delegate of the English culture, the nineteenth century outstanding representative of critical realism novelist. The Great Expectation,the most matured works of Dickens, describes around the hero Pip, and his great expectations of disillusion process, through the facts he finally realized that his target for the flashy life in a luxury and dissipation in polite society were no value. From the story we can see that there are inner factors and outer factors that impress on the formation and development of the main characters. And as readers, what we should learn is that we need know great inspiration: strengthen our inner heart, and make full use of external cause of positive factors.BibliographyAshley Emerson.GREAT EXPECTATIONS .S.W.A.T. 2009:9Blamires, H.

《远大前程》

《远大前程》

《远大前程》第一篇:《远大前程》从《远大前程》看人性的回归摘要《远大前程》是狄更斯最成熟的作品之一,它汇聚了作者对人生深刻独到的认识。

作品通过描写一个想当上等人的乡村孤儿在机缘巧合中凭借一笔匿名资助金进入上流社会,在享受金钱带来的浮华生活时,因为匿名资助人逃犯身份的曝光,从而遭遇人生理想破灭的悲惨故事。

作者以朴实无华的笔调描述了资本主义社会中贫苦人民对财富和爱情的渴望,同时也大胆揭露了资本主义社会中功利的价值观,表达出对社会制度的强烈不满。

本文主要分析主人公皮普由乡村孤儿转变为上流绅士的离奇经历对他性格发展的影响以及环境的改变下皮普纯真本性的迷失与回归。

关键词远大前程狄更斯皮普人性《远大前程》又名《孤星血泪》,是伟大的批判现实主义作家狄更斯晚年时期的重要作品。

狄更斯是19世纪英国杰出的小说家,他的作品始终致力于揭露资本主义社会的黑暗和腐朽,着力描写资本主义社会中小人物举步维艰的生存状态,表现出强烈的人道主义精神。

狄更斯的一生充满了辛酸和坎坷,贫困孤苦的童年和平淡乏味的婚姻对于他的创作思想产生了巨大的影响,他早期的作品多表现积极向上的生活态度,中年时期则呈现悲凉沉郁的风格,晚年之后由于年龄的增长以及婚姻的不幸加上对社会黑暗的深刻认识,狄更斯思想中抑郁的一面有所增强,反映在创作中,乐观的基调大大削弱。

如正面主人公尽管都得到了好的结局,但在达到结局的过程中不仅常常饱经磨难,而且总是需要付出一定的代价有时甚至是惨痛的代价。

与此同时,作品中常常出现一些与过去、死亡、衰败联系在一起的意象,给小说增添了冷峻的色调。

《远大前程》的英文读后感

《远大前程》的英文读后感

《远大前程》的英文读后感《远大前程》的英文读后感Dickens is not a writer disdaining women. Instead he loves, respects and takes care of them, however, in his novels, he unconsciously degrades women and puts theminferior to men. This time I want to adopt Great Expectations to evidence my thesis.Two reasons aount for this. The Victorian Age pushed women back to home and indulge in their obedience and docility. An able woman today may be sung highly as a model of independence but male dominated that period even alittle bit of rebellion from female world is regarded asthe despising of sacred belief. The other one lies in that Dickens, as a well-known and truly suessful writer, poses various and popular works. As a male, his achievement sounds great, which belittles the rest of his contemporaries, let alone the women. His suess made him believe in men’s great ability.There are three aspects in this novel that I believethis kind of thought of Dickens is revealed.The first one is that women are fragile. “ Weaker,your name is woman.” Two hundreds ago, Shakespeareauthored to the world this unprecedented sentence in Hamlet. Later, Dickens followed this great instructionunconsciously in creating his own works. That is notbecause that women are in lack of will but that they need surviving abilities and that of self-survival and struggle against destiny. They always turn to men. That can becalled “hero saving the beauty”。

远大前程话剧观后感英文

远大前程话剧观后感英文Title: A Reflection on the Stage Play "Great Expectations"As the curtains fell, encapsulating the poignant finale of Charles Dickens’"Great Expectations," I found myself entwined in a web of emotions, much like the intricate plot that had unfolded upon the stage. This theatrical adaptation of the classic tale not only revitalized the story but also provided an unyielding commentary on ambition, identity, and the elusive nature of happiness.The set design was a masterstroke, conjuring the dreary chambers of Pip's apprenticeship and the grandiose halls of his newfound wealth with equal finesse. The sets, minimalist yet suggestive, allowed the audience's imagination to fill in the crevices of Miss Havisham's decaying estate or the cobbled streets of London. It was a testament to the power of suggestion, showing that grandeur need not be ostentatious to leave an impression.The actors were the vessels through which Dickens’characters sailed into life. As Pip, the protagonist, navigated the tempestuous seas of social class and affection, his journey from humble blacksmith's apprentice to gentleman wasemblematically portrayed. His evolution, both externally in attire and demeanor, and internally in his understanding of true friendship and love, was a sight to behold. The actor played his role with such nuance that one could almost feel the conflict raging within him as he reconciled his affections for the mercurial Estella and the steadfast Joe.Estella, the living embodiment of beauty and cruelty, was another character brought vividly to life. Her performer captured the character’s icy exterior and tortured interior with such finesse that the character's journey from heartless to heartbroken seemed inevitable yet poignant.However, it was not just the central performances that shone. The ensemble cast painted a vivid picture of Victorian society, each character a brushstroke in the larger portrait. From Magwitch's tortured redemption to Herbert Pocket's genial companionship and Miss Havisham's tragic vengefulness, every role was charged with significance, contributing to the tapestry of human experience that is "Great Expectations."Dickens' timeless exploration of identity and morality was given new life under the play's modern lens. The juxtaposition of Pip's longing for higher status against his eventualrealization of the superficiality of social standing spoke volumes about our own contemporary pursuit of success. In this light, the play functioned as both a mirror and a window —reflecting society's age-old grapple with status while offering a glimpse into the potential consequences of unchecked ambition.In essence, the stage play "Great Expectations" was an emotionally resonant work that successfully married the original narrative's depth with contemporary relevance. It reminded us that while our outer circumstances may change, the core of our being—our values and our treatment of others —defines our true character. As the lights dimmed, I exited the theater with a sense of having witnessed not just a play, but a profound examination of the human condition, one that echoed long after the curtains closed.。

远大前程读后感英文350词English: "After reading 'Great Expectations', I am struck by the timeless nature of Charles Dickens' exploration of class, ambition, and the pursuit of dreams. The protagonist, Pip, is a relatable character whose journey from a humble orphan to a gentleman showcases the complexities of social mobility and the cost of forsaking one's roots. Dickens' vivid depictions of 19th-century London serve as a backdrop for the moral dilemmas faced by his characters, highlighting the clash between ambition and morality. The novel's themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of love resonate with readers of all ages, reminding us of the importance of staying true to ourselves and not losing sight of what truly matters in life."中文翻译: "阅读完《远大前程》后,我被查尔斯·狄更斯对阶级、抱负和追梦的探讨所深深感染。

So he requests May to watch with him.Out of love,May promises to wait for the appearance of the beast with Marcher.Many years have passed,but nothing happens.However,May grows old and dies of disease.Two years later,an incident that takes place in May’s cemetery makes Marcher realizes that the awful end he has been waiting for with fear all his life is the fact that he misses May’s love.He is finally aware that the only way to extricate him is to love her; only by this means can he get rid of the spiritual void and live a meaningful life.Suffering from selfishnessMarcher is materially rich,for he possesses “his little office under government”,“his modest patrimony”,“his library”and “his garden in the country”(1311).However,he is not satisfied mentally.“What it had come to was that he wore a mask painted with the social simper,out of the eye-holes of which there looked eyes of an expression not in the least matching the other feature.”(1320)He despises the world that is blinded by greed and is always reminding himself not to be selfish.“He valued this character quite sufficiently to measure his present danger of letting it lapse,against which he promised himself to be much on his guard.”(1356)So he is always thinking about others,never disturbing them with his annoyance.When he has intercourse with Bartram,he shows great care towards her.He would occasionally take her to the theatre and never forgets to make a delicate present on her birthday.In fact,everything Marcher does for May embody the selfish side of his being.He thinks his care and attendance for May isrealizes his attitude toward consistent Joe is too vulgar.3.Pip’s new lifeWhen transporting Magwitch,Pip had been a grown-up who was completely mature in mind.The original timid boy had been a real man who was full of confidence.In this period,Pip’s merits are regained and he is more intelligent than before.Pip,the hero of the novel,is changed again.Although he loses his “great expectations”,he regains the morality and obtains a new life. After Magwitch was apprehended,Pip still kept touch with him closely and looked after this dying person.In prison,Pip found that though many prisoners were guilty of the most atrocious crimes,they also had kind hearts.After Magwitch’s death,Pip was seriously ill.He experienced so many troubles that his spiritual world collapsed at once.It was at this moment that Joe came to take care of him.Joe had never deserted him especially when Pip was in need.Pip was clear that there was no change in Joe.Eleven years later,Pip returned England.He had learned how to work hard,and he was satisfied with the simple life.One becomes a true man after overcoming some difficulties,and so does Pip.When everything has gone,Pip gains his new life.Conclusion“For Pip,the idea of being a gentleman was a corrupting force,with it,Pip could not live happily and show his good nature; without it,Pip was free to enjoy life.”[1]Therefore giving up this idea is the key for Pip to regain his good nature.

远大前程英语观后感

远大前程英语观后感

远大前程英语观后感From the moment the opening credits of "Great Expectations" rolled, I was captivated by the intricate tapestry of Dickensian England, a world where ambition and social class collide with the raw reality of human nature. The film's portrayal of Pip's journey from an impoverished blacksmith's apprentice to a gentleman of high society is nothing short of mesmerizing. The transformation of Pip, played with a delicate balance of innocence and ambition, is a testament to the power of hope and the perils of unbridled desire.The cinematography is a visual feast, capturing the stark contrast between the marshes of Pip's childhood and the opulent London society he aspires to join. The performances are equally compelling, with each character bringing to life the complex social dynamics of the time. Estella, with hericy beauty and calculated charm, is the epitome of the femme fatale, while Magwitch, the convict with a heart of gold, offers a poignant reminder that appearances can be deceiving.The narrative unfolds with a sense of foreboding, asPip's dreams of a "great expectation" lead him through a series of moral dilemmas and heartbreaking revelations. The film's exploration of themes such as love, betrayal, and social mobility is both timeless and timely, resonating with audiences across generations.In conclusion, "Great Expectations" is a cinematic masterpiece that not only does justice to Dickens' literary genius but also offers a profound reflection on the human condition. It is a film that lingers in the mind long after the credits have ended, prompting viewers to question their own aspirations and the price one might pay in the pursuit of a better life.。

But after that, he finally understood that a noble mind wins much more than a beautiful appearance. What is a gentleman? Not gorgeous dresses, magnificent castle; not the complicated etiquette, affective words and deeds; not luxuries ostentation, arrogant posture; not high birth, boasted superior social status... A real
gentleman is rich in the inner spirit and should have a noble soul affluent with compassion, kind, honesty, generosity.。
