Great Expectations Lit Circles


Discussion Questions:

Dickens wrote two endings to Great Expectations; which do you prefer?

If Miss Havisham did not ”train” Estella to be a heartbreaker do you think she and Pip would have fallen in love as kids?

Although Magwitch gave Pip a fortune, he is still a convicted criminal. Do you believe he is good or evil?

Do you think Pip should have at some point given up on Estella? And if so at what point?

Why do you think the book is called Great Expectations?

How did class distinction shape the plot of the novel?

Would the plot remain the same if Pip had parents and was not an orphan?
