Charles Dickens' 'Great Expectations' is the coming of age story of the orphan Pip who falls in love with the unreachable Estella. In order to win her love, he seeks to raise himself from a blacksmith's apprentice to a gentleman. When the means to do so miraculously appear, he travels to London with hopes of really becoming a gentleman. In spite of his new-found wealth and position, Estella remains beyond his grasp. When Pip learns that his unknown benefactor is none other than a common criminal, whom he had aided when he was a child, he can no longer accept his support. This is the end of his hopes and he realizes that Estella can never be his. Years later, Pip and Estella meet once again. The years of experience have softened Estella and brought her to realize that Pip is her first and only love.
