WHAT'S THE STORY?

Why did Charles Dickens write the novel you're reading/reviewing? What in your analysis of literary techniques led you to this conclusion? (Make sure to include textual support illustrating Dickens' use of at least three techniques we've studied/discussed this year.)

Charles Dicken's wrote Great Expectations in order to address the problems of inequality between the upper and lower social classes. Through the use of characterization, Dickens creates Pip, a lower class individual who soon possesses the characteristic of greed. Dickens also utilizes imagery throughout the entire novel to demonstrate his thoughts on social class. However, diction plays a major role in the novel. Dicken's word choice in Great Expectations, informs readers that social class was of great importance during his time era.
