Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations": Original Versus Contemporary Ending
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Bowing to the demands of social pressure, Charles Dickens was coerced into establishing a more dismal ending for his classic "Great Expectations" than he had originally intended. That Pip and Estella have any kind of a future together at the end of the more modern version is, too, what had ultimately transpired through social pressure of a different sort. Contemporary versions of Dickens' timeless tale have suffered the same fate as the original text, in that the endings were construed by means of public persistence to reflect a more accurate portrayal of reality. In Dickens' era, it would not have been prudent for the author to allow Pip and Estella to overcome their challenges and enjoy a life together. In modern times, however, people clamor for a happier ending as a means by which to demonstrate the ever-present sense of hope. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
