远大前程英文读后感 1

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 them inferior to men. This time I want to adopt Great Expectations to evidence my thesis.

Two reasons account 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 a little bit of rebellion from female world is regarded as the despising of sacred belief. The other one lies in that Dickens, as a well-known and truly successful writer, composes various and popular works. As a male, his achievement sounds great, which belittles the rest of his contemporaries, let alone the women. His success made him believe in men’s great ability.

There are three aspects in this novel that I believe this kind of thought of Dickens is revealed.

The first one is that women are fragile. “ Weaker, your name is woman.” Two hundreds ago, Shakespeare authored to the world this unprecedented sentence in Hamlet. Later, Dickens followed this great instruction unconsciously in creating his own works. That is not because 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 be called “hero saving the beauty”。 This notion originated in the Greek tales but is still adopted successively. The only difference between them lies in the plot and structure. Estella is adopted and trained to break men’s hearts by Miss Havisham. Havisham revenges men and marries Estella to an unworthy guy though Pip deeply loves Estella. Nothing can be bitterer than see his lover married to another guy for a man. Pip really fell into the despair of losing Estella. However, Estella suffers a lot and begins to regret for her initial choice for her spouse and begins to treasure

Then comes my second point. Facing destiny women are physically and intellectually inferior to men. Actually it does not mean they have an inferior intelligence but that it seems so. Or we can say that both men and women have the same potential of intelligence, but women never show a lot. God create everyone equally but not everyone is granted the same approaches to success or achievements. They are restricted to families, which restrict them from showing a lot. They can cook food well, which is one standard for their excellence but not the one for male’s world. The novel goes this way since it implies the male consciousness. The ordinary intelligence of women in marriage and love is exposed completely. Havisham 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 though she se

The discipline for women is my third point. A feminist De Bufuwa says, ‘One is called woman because she is “made” not “born”’。 Culturally woman is the product of society and the result of its strict restrictions. Those women who do not obey the disciplines are not regarded as gracious or good women by social criteria, which emphasizes on families, the responsibilities for their husbands and their dependence on men. In Great Expectations, Estella and Havisham’s misfortunes are closely attached to love and marriage. They try to revenge men and but they cannot leave men. Estella leaves Pip but at last comes back to him, and Havisham keeps thinking about her marriage day and her the other part, who should come that day, in that gloomy room though she on the other hand revenges men. So tracing the track of a decent woman is the priority for women, as revealed in Dickens’ novel, otherwise tribulation falls.

Every period has an outstanding feature, which make descendants linger in mind. Victorian Age passed long ago, but its typical rules for women still work to some extent. To learn this novel can help us in understanding better women’s efforts to stand up. Society presses public to believe in notion that male play a dominant role. Even a feminist will drop into that swirl as she sees more and thinks more. Havisham can symbolize a feminist but what then? She needs a male accompany. Her ending somewhat is tragic but Estella harvests through a long time, but anyway she wins in depending man and leading a pleasant life.

The above is what I get from the novel in the textbook and to conclude my opinion in one sentence, I should say that women depend on men. That is not my opinion, but what I get. I have to mention that again since I myself am one part of that group and I am not willing to take a subordinate role in both family and society.

Great Expectations "is a long novel completed by Dickens in his late creative period.

My initial contact was with high school English textbooks. The English teacher explained to us the grammatical structure between words and sentences, circled the subject verb object in long sentences, and vividly explained the excerpt to us. Adding a touch of artistic atmosphere to the tense senior year life.

This is a great work with profound social significance and strong practical significance.

The protagonist of the novel, Pip, is an orphan who grew up at his sisters house. His initial dream was to become a blacksmith like his brother-in-law.

When Pip was working at the landlord Havishams house, he fell in love with the landlords adopted daughter Estella, which aroused his desire to become a superior. Estellas biological father fled and was accidentally rescued by Pip. The fugitive who made a fortune abroad sponsored Pip to receive a higher education in London and gave him a sum of money. Soon after, Estella married someone else and became a fugitive.

Also arrested due to the incident, Pip, who was full of ambition, suffered a emotional blow and his property was confiscated, so he had to wander overseas to make a living. Later, Pip returned to his home country, Estellas husband passed away, and the two troubled lovers finally came together, leaving the landlords decadent old house.

When the temptations of money and status intertwine into a persons life, they either sublimate or fall. Life is long and short, everything will pass and leave its mark. Even if ruthlessly thrown into the valley of life like Pip, perhaps this is the starting point of another mountain peak.

The Chinese and English versions of Great Expectations were found in my husbands bookshelf, and I read them carefully under the name of Charles Dickens. It took two weeks of spare time to finish reading. Reading a few sentences of English before going to bed every night gradually calms my heart in the story, leading me into a peaceful and leisurely state. It can be said that this is a great bedtime book.

The narrative and description at the beginning of the story are extremely ordinary, but as I read further, I find the plot more exciting and the ideas cleverly conceived. Especially when one mystery after another is revealed, it makes people suddenly realize and cannot help but exclaim in amazement.

Pip, who was timid and innocent in his childhood, met a queen like girl. He began to look down upon his birth and living environment. He is looking forward to his great future and dreams of becoming a Londoner, a true gentleman. But his inherent kindness also led him to secretly help his friends. When learning that your benefactor is a fugitive, do your best to protect him, even if you lack money, and no longer use your benefactors money. In the end, he lived an ordinary and happy life through his own efforts.

This book shows us that the environment can change a persons destiny, but human nature also affects the environment. Everyone dreams of having a great future, but being able to live an ordinary life through ones own efforts is a kind of happiness!

The wonderful idea is the highlight of this novel. The story revolves around Pip, connecting numerous characters and reflecting the different realities of society. Just like Lao Shes "Rickshaw Boy", the narrative and description never leave the male protagonist, but still appear novel, exciting, and rich in flavor.

She put the food for him as a dog,but he didnt hate her. On the contrary, he left from his home and his friends. He just want to be a gentleman.He abandoned a lot than he got.

Thats my thought.

《远大前程》英文读后感作文 5

Among the few English original works I have read (Cowherd, Tess, Pride and Prejudice, Small Town Devils, etc.), Dickens "Great Expectations" is the best.

From a linguistic perspective, there are vivid parallelism and inverted sentence structures; Subtle and meticulous psychological description, very precise and beautiful adjectives.

Due to space limitations in the plot, it is naturally not possible to go through twists and turns, but the protection of the persons identity and Joes marriage really scared me.

In addition, the portrayal of the characters personalities is truly vivid: Pips youthful maturity and emotional sensitivity; Herberts enthusiasm and sincerity; Joes honest discussion; Wemmicks work at home is two faced, Mr. Jaggers shrewdness, efficiency, and even a little bit cold-blooded; The neurosis brought by Miss Havishams dark past and Estellas aloofness and arrogance.

Emotionally speaking, Pips feelings towards Estella can be understood as what you cant get is the best . From the initial contempt and insult, to the later arrogance and disdain, and finally to letting go of everything and becoming friends, this should be the main emotional thread in the article. Regarding the understanding of "future", does becoming an educated gentleman and entering high society mean happiness and a bright future? In the end, it was all empty, and we still had to rely on workhard to dowell.

If you want to choose an English novel to read, then Great Expectations is really not to be missed.

远大前程英文读后感 6

"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 heritage, 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 the 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 sister’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 Dickenss 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.

The story is pided into three phases of Pips life expectations. The first "expectation" is allotted 19 chapters, and the other two 20 chapters each in the 59-chapter work. In some editions, the chapter numbering reverts to Chapter One in each expectation, but the original publication and most modern editions number the chapters consecutively from one to 59. At the end of chapters 19 and 39, readers are formally notified that they have reached the conclusion of a phase of Pips expectations.

In the first expectation, Pip lives a humble existence with his ill-tempered older sister and her strong but gentle husband, Joe Gargery. Pip is satisfied with this life and his warm friends until he is hired by Miss Havisham and Estella.From that time on, Pip aspires to leave behind his simple life and be a gentleman. This life is suddenly turned upside down when he is visited by a London attorney, Mr. Jaggers.

The second stage of Pips expectations has Pip in London, learning the details of being a gentlemen, having tutors, fine clothing, and joining cultured society. At the end of this stage, Pip is introduced to his benefactor, again changing his world.

There was a man who had seven sons, but he had no daughter, greatly though he longed for one. At last his wife told him that they could again expect a child and, sure enough, when it was born it was a baby girl. There was great rejoicing, but the child was weak and puny, so weak that it had to be christened at once. The father told one of the boys to go quickly to the spring and fetch christening water; the other six ran along with him, and because each of them wanted to be the first to dip the jug into the well, it fell in and sank. So there they stood and didn‘t know what to do, and none of them dared go home. When they didn‘t come back their father got impatient and said:“ I‘ll wager they‘ve been playing some game again and forgotten all about it, the godless brats.“ He was afraid the little girl would have to die unbaptized, and in his rage he cried out:“ I wish those boys would all turn into ravens.“ He‘d scarcely spoken the words when he heard a whirring of wings in the air overhead, looked up and saw seven coal-black ravens flying away.

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!

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.

I think there are three themes revealed in the novel Great Expectations.

1.women are fragile. That is not because those 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 be called “hero saving the beauty”。 This notion originated in the Greek tales but is still adopted successively. The only difference between them lies in the plot and structure. Estella is adopted and trained to break men?s hearts by Miss Havisham. Havisham revenges men and marries Estella to an unworthy guy though Pip deeply loves Estella. Nothing can be bitterer than see his lover married to another guy for a man. Pip really fell into the despair of losing Estella. However, Estella suffers a lot and begins to regret for her initial choice for her spouse and begins to treasure

2.Facing destiny, women are physically and intellectually inferior to men. Actually it does not mean they have an inferior intelligence, but that it seems so. Or we can say that both men and women have the same potential of intelligence, but women never show a lot. God creates everyone equally, but not everyone is granted the same approaches to success or achievements. Women are restricted to families, which restricts

them from showing a lot. They can cook food well, which is one standard for their excellence but not the one for male. The novel goes this way since it implies the male consciousness. The ordinary intelligence of women in marriage and love is exposed completely. Havisham 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.

3.The discipline for women ]。 A feminist De Bufuwa says: “One is called woman because she is ？made? not ？born?。” Culturally woman is the product of society and the result of its strict restrictions. Those women who do not obey the disciplines are not regarded as gracious or good women by social criteria, which emphasizes on families, the responsibilities for their husbands and their dependence on men. In Great Expectations, Estella and Havisham?s misfortunes are closely attached to love and marriage. They try to revenge men and but they cannot leave men. Estella leaves Pip, but at last she comes back to him. And Havisham keeps thinking about her marriage day and her husband. So in Dickens?s novel, women are decent on surface, but failed in heart.

Every period has an outstanding feature, which make descendants linger in mind. To learn this novel can help us in understanding better women?s efforts to stand up. Society presses public to believe that male

plays a dominant role. Havisham can symbolize a feminist but what then? She needs a male accompany. Her ending somewhat is tragic but Estella harvests through a long time, but anyway she wins in depending man and leading a pleasant life.

远大前程英文读后感 10

“Great expectations” is one of Dicken’s most maturest works. After Dicken had experienced large part of meaningful life, he had a deeper cognition for people, environment, as well as the life which he had gone through. And all the mature cognitions are included in this writing---Great expectations.

Pip was brought up by his sister who was unpleasant as well as crude and her friendly blacksmith husband-Joe. Joe himself had arranged a common hard but satisfied path for Pip to go through, and on the other hand, Pip beheld this as his highest goal to achieve.

But the two things which he had experienced later had changed his pursue and his fate as well. Met Abel Magwith(an escaped convict) in the swamp, and unwillingly helped him out of danger by stealing food from his own home. If say that had changed his attitude for material life, then, his introduction to Miss Havisham, an aging woman who had been jilted at the alter and Estella who had been brought up by Havisham only to revenge for her own pain had brought vast shock for his world of spirit.

Aspiring to be a gentleman despite his humble born, Pip fortunately or unfortunately received a fund of wealth from an unknown source and being sent to London with a lawyer. From then on, he became a gentleman without question at the price of losing everything.

The title of this book is ‘Great expectations” which make an impression on us that the character would have great expectations just as the title goes. But in fact this title has a tone of sarcastic on the other way around.

This story full of quirkiness from the very beginning to the end, the relations among characters are anfractuous as well which actually attracted me a lot.

One of the paragraphs, which I appreciate most implicatively as well as beautifully expresses the feeling between Pip and Estella.

“We are friends,” said I, rising and bending over her, as she rose from the bench.

‘And will continue friends apart.” Said Estella.

I took his hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first let the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her.

At the view of language, this works had achieved a step o f highest, Dicken had made this writing plain and fluent as well, which surely can attract lots of readers and high comments.

To be frank, I really impressed by this art of beauty. So I like Dicken’s works very much.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was the most famous novelist of the Victorian era in England, the most important classical writer in the history of English literature after Shakespeare, and one of the most outstanding representatives of British critical realism writers. He created a wealth of works throughout his life and made unique contributions to the development of realism novels in Britain and Europe.

Great Expectations "is one of the most representative works of Dickens late period. Edgar Johnson highly praised this novel, stating that" the structure and language of Great Expectations are the most perfect among all Dickens works. "This novel tells the story of a young man who dreams of pursuing an illusory and elusive" Great Expectations, "but ultimately his fantasy is shattered. The novel vividly depicts how, due to his pursuit of money and high society life, the once innocent and kind protagonist Pip gradually becomes vain and ungrateful. The appearance of his "benefactor" forces him to face reality again, and in a series of changes, he ultimately returns to the beauty of human nature; During Pips journey from a boy with shallow aspirations to becoming a truly profound and meaningful gentleman, Dickens dynamically explores the changes in good and evil in human nature. In this novel, he uniquely depicts the universal themes of youth growth in 19th century literature, and deeply criticizes sin and greed, capitalism, and the corruption of human nature by money. The novel also created many vivid character images, who together forged the success of this masterpiece.

Everyone has heard of the British writer Dickens! He is a famous great writer! I greatly admire him, so I have read several of his books. Not long ago, I bought another copy of Great Expectations and after reading it, I was very touched.

Great Expectations "mainly tells the story of orphan Pip, who was raised by his sister and brother-in-law and lived a poor but warm life. In order to win the love of the beautiful and arrogant wealthy woman Estella, he decided to become a wealthy gentleman in high society. By chance, he once helped a fugitive become wealthy and secretly sponsored him to study in London, where he entered the upper echelons of society. Pip seemed to have a broad road ahead, with his great future waiting for him. So he began to despise his own background and his relatives who were struggling in life. After being rejected from pursuing Esther, the fugitive who supported him was arrested and all his property was confiscated. Pip was once again abandoned by the upper class. He learned from his mistakes, reconsidered his life, and finally realized what true life is. After many years, Pip, who was self-sufficient, returned to his hometown and gained his hard-earned family and love.

The whole novel is written truthfully and profoundly, with ups and downs in the plot, full of infectiousness, especially the section where the "bright future" disappears in the blink of an eye, and the image of middle-aged Pip who has gone through ups and downs in human relationships afterwards, which I will never forget. It also taught me a life lesson: when we achieve success in life, we must not be proud. Perhaps one day, you will be like Pip, with a bright future ahead of you and disappear in a flash. And from Pip, I see what kind of life and what kind of future is truly a great future. Its the same in our lives, you must remember it!

Great Expectations "is a good book, you should also read it!

《远大前程》英文读后感作文 13

Great Expectations "is a late work of Dickens, and I feel it is also his most mature work. The title of this book made me realize that it was ironic after reading it. It tells the story of an orphan, Pip, whose dream of becoming a superior was shattered. In the end, he did not become a superior, and of course, he did not have the so-called great future. This book tightly ties the readers heartstrings with extremely exciting storylines, vividly describing the psychological journey of an orphan named Pip who suffers from hardships and constantly struggles with fate. In the end, he realizes the truth of life, becomes an ordinary person, and shakes hands with his first love to reunite, achieving a satisfactory ending.

The plot of Great Expectations has its unique features, which make readers feel an irresistible urge to read it. The protagonist of this book, Pip, is also a main thread that connects other main characters. The environment can change a persons destiny, and Pip is changed by the environment. At the beginning, when Pip was still a child, he was so naive, easily trusting, and compassionate. However, Pips fate was to meet a queen like girl who would deeply influence his life. He began to look down on himself and feel inferior about his family environment and background. "And when I think of this mansion, there is no sunshine in my heart! At the same time, I am even more disgusted with my own behavior and look down on my family." This is a great way to blend emotions. In such a terrifying room, Pip completely looks down on himself. Is he possessed by a demon.

After a long period of time, the characters began to change, and under the authors pen, the entire piece was written very naturally. In the end, everyone lived an ordinary and real life. What a perfect ending!

In Chapter 17, it is said that the enemys attack was ineffective and they suppressed a group of prisoners. Among these prisoners happened to be Old Uncle Zhong. The captain of Xiaogazihe District was very angry when he saw it. At this moment, the district captain thought of leading the enemy to the west, where the firepower was strong and he could be rescued by chance. However, there was a cabinet stronghold there. Xiaogazi thought to himself, "Let me go," and with the consent of the district captain, he went.

In this chapter, the author fully embodies Xiao Gazis bravery, which is highly admirable.

Thoughts on Great Expectations

During the last month, I have been reading the novel named Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I set up my mind to finish reading it for the simple reason that I have read the Chinese version of this great novel and I was deeply attracted by the story.

The main character in this novel is Pip and the whole story goes like this: Pip was a orphan and was brought up by his sister “by hand”。 His sister Mrs. Joe was very strict with him while his brother-in-law treat him kindly. As a result, the two developed a intimate relationship. Since Pip was asked to visit Miss Havishams’s house, his mind and his fate began to change. In Miss Havishams’s home, Pip saw her adopted daughter Estella and fell in love with her at the first sight. Then he was determined to be well-educated and become a gentleman in order to deserve the beautiful girl Estella. And much to his delight, he was given a large sum of money and an opportunity to study abroad by an anonymous person. After a period of time, his great expectations came true and he became a gentleman at last. However, he found out that the money was offered by the criminal he had saved when he was young. He felt ashamed and didn’t want to use the money any more. What’s worse, the criminal Magwitch escaped from prison to visit Pip and was noticed by the police. At last, Magwitch was sentenced to death and Pip led a normal life. The beautiful lady became a widow as her husband died. But Pip still loved her and promised to be friends with her all the same. This ending is a bit reaasuring.

Among those several characters in the novel, my favourite is Magwitch. He was homeless and poor when he was young and he used to be put into prison several times. No one cared about him, so when little Pip saved him by giving him some food, he felt moved. And he bore Pip’s help in his mind. When he was exiled overseas, he was determined to make a lot of money and help Pip become a gentleman. He worked hard and saved every coin he could, and then sent it to Pip. He did all of these secretly in order to prevent little Pip from being embarrassed. After Pip became a real gentleman, Magwitch returned to England in secret only to see whether Pip had led a good life. What we can find from him is deep love for Pip. Although the society has deserted him, he is not deserted by himself. Different from Miss Havishams who is black-hearted, Magwitch is like a father. He showed his love to Pip without any hesitation. He was just like Pip’s father. This is why I admire him very much.

Then when I look back into our society, I find that some parents are not as good as the criminal Magwitch. Cases are that parents push their children to work hard in order to be admitted into the college where they were eager to go when they were young. This usually leads to two consequences. One is that the children are exerted too much pressure and they go to extremes. The other is that their children do as they are told to and don’t have their independent thinking. They lack the comprehensive abilities to cope with fierce competition in today’s society. In other words, they are likely to survive in this competitive world.

God is equal to everyone. When Magwitch knew that Estella was his daughter and had been loved by Pip, he felt relieved. I am also relieved because one good turn deserves another.

Why did he love Estella so much? Not for her beautiful face,her treasure 。 Pip paid out so much for the love.

AlthoughEstella didnt treat him well and even that she didnt respect him at all! She put the food for him as a dog,but he didnt hate her. On the contrary, he left from his home with Pip/s friends. Pip just wanted to be a gentleman.

He abandoned a lot than he got. I cant understand why he do it in this way. I think its not worth at all. If one person dont like you or not respect you,

you neednt do everything for her. So it made me quite sad.

I feel sorry for Pip. He had a very difficult life.。. Miss Havisham is also

a character who left me a deep impression 。She was a poor lady. Her mother died young. Her farther was very rich and very proud

with only one child, Miss Havisham, is his first wife.

In fact, Miss Havisham should have a nice life,

but her wedding was destroyed by her fiance.

He broke her heart and she was angry.

She wanted to retaliate all men. She was really a kind woman. But she chose a wrong way to continue her life. Miss Havisham wanted to hurt other persons.

And she had done. This was not good for her. Only made her feel a little comfortable but there were also more victims in the world.

The above is what I get from the novel in the textbook and to conclude my opinion in one sentence, I should say that people should not depend on others.

远大前程英文读后感 16

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 them inferior to men. Great Expectations is evidence to my thesis.

There are three aspects in this novel that I believe this kind of thought of Dickens is revealed.

The first one is that women are fragile. That is not because those 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 be called “hero saving the beauty”。 This notion originated in the Greek tales but is still adopted successively. The only difference between them lies in the plot and structure. Estella is adopted and trained to break men’s hearts by Miss Havisham. Havisham revenges men and marries Estella to an unworthy guy though Pip deeply loves Estella. Nothing can be bitterer than see his lover married to another guy for a man. Pip really fell into the despair of losing Estella. However， Estella suffers a lot and begins to regret for her initial choice for her spouse and begins to treasure

Then es my second point. Facing destiny， women are physically and intellectually inferior to men. Actually it does not mean they have an inferior intelligence， but that it seems so. Or we can say that both men and women have the same potential of intelligence， but women never show a lot. God creates everyone equally， but not everyone is granted the same approaches to success or achievements. Women are restricted to families， which restricts them from showing a lot. They can cook food well， which is one standard for their excellence but not the one for male. The novel goes this way since it implies the male consciousness. The ordinary intelligence of women in marriage and love is exposed pletely. Havisham 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.

The discipline for women is my third point. A feminist De Bufuwa says: “One is called woman because she is ‘made’ not ‘born’。” Culturally woman is the product of society and the result of its strict restrictions. Those women who do not obey the disciplines are not regarded as gracious or good women by social criteria， which emphasizes on families， the responsibilities for their husbands and their dependence on men. In Great Expectations， Estella and Havisham’s misfortunes are closely attached to love and marriage. They try to revenge men and but they cannot leave men. Estella leaves Pip， but at last she es back to him. And Havisham keeps thinking about her marriage day and her husband. So in Dickens’s novel， women are decent on surface， but failed in heart.

Every period has an outstanding feature， which make descendants linger in learn this novel can help us in understanding better women’s efforts to stand up. Society presses public to believe that male plays a dominant role. Havisham can symbolize a feminist but what then? She needs a male acpany. Her ending somewhat is tragic but Estella harvests through a long time， but anyway she wins in depending man and leading a pleasant life.

The above is what I get from the novel in the textbook. And to conclude my opinion in one sentence， I should say：women depend on men. That is not my opinion， but what I get. I have to mention that again since I myself is one part of that group and I am not willing to take a subordinate role in both family and society.

The character in this masterpiece left me the deep impression is Pip.He falls in love with Estella.He studied as hard as he could.Educating himself for her.Why did he love Estella so much? Just for her beautiful face? because she is pretty? She is rich? She is proud? In fact， I think Pip pay out so much for the love.She didn't treat him well and even that she didn't respect him at all! She put the food for him as a dog，but he didn't hate her. On the contrary， he left from his home and his friends. He just want to be a gentleman.He abandoned a lot than he got. I can't understand why he do it in this way. I think it's not worth at all. If one person don't like you or not respect you，you needn't do everything for her. So it made me quite sad.I feel sorry for Pip. He had a very difficult life…

Miss Havisham is aslo a character who left me a deep impression.She was a pitiful lady.Her mother died young.Her farther was very rich and very proud.with only one child，Miss Havisham，by his first wife.In fact， she should have a nice life，but her wedding was destroied by her fiance.He broke her heart and she was angry.She want to retaliate all men.She was really a abject woman.But she chose a wrong way to continue her lifeShe wanted to hurt other persons.And she had done.This is no good for made her feel a little fortable.and there was more victims in the world.there are so many persons in the world.when they were hurt they want to hurt other innocent persons.Athough this is no good for them，but they did so.I do not know why they did Made the world full of hateness.It is difficult to understand.
