Spiritual Disillusionment and Self–Salvation: Analysis Pip’s Fate in Great Expectations

Ning Li*

Abstract

As the well-known masterpiece of Charles Dickens, Great Expectations conforms to the basic features of the Bildungsroman. The pattern of plots in this work is also in accordance with that of the growth, with the periods of innocence temptation, leaving from home, perplexity, ordeals, loss of innocence, epiphany and gaining maturity. In the course of Pip’s growth, he experiences various ordeals, meets some positive and negative guides, and then gains maturity through epiphany. Through the analysis of the growing process of the hero Pip, it has concluded that he finally has achieved a full understanding of love after he overcomes various hardships and frustrations both in his life and mind. Pip’s full understanding of love is extremely significant not only for him, but also for the whole novel as a famous education work.
