This is where it begins, outside, looking in. But a fate will have it, this boy is about
pass into another world. Where an incredible meeting will change his life forever. 'You are
not afraid of a woman who has never seen the sun since you were born?' The journey of
Philip Pirrip from the shadows of society up to its dizzying heights is an epic one. Along
the way, there is the pain of falling in love with the wrong person. The pleasure of having
dreams come true. And the realization that no matter how far you run, you can never really
escape your past. As the boy play the remarkable hand life has dealt him, its hard not to
wonder what any of us would do in his place. Because we've all been there, on the brink of
destiny, just waiting to see what the future holds.
...
London, the city that Charles Dickens called his magic lantern, is his single, greatest
character. Soon after photography was developed in 1839, pictures of the fog bound
metropolis. Dickens descibed began to appear. The Industrial Revolution was under way: He
saw the stage coach retired for railways and recorded the strange unearthly noises heard
from vehicles of all shapes, mingled up together in one moving mass like running water.
It was a place, he wrote, where life and death went hand in hand, wealth and poverty stood
side by side. As one of the very few to transcend the class barriers, this self-made
gentleman bridged the upper crust and the lower class.
...
Even if he believes society was rotten at its roots, Dickens never lost faith in individual
human beings. Though Pip has failed every character test he's faced, his story isn't over
yet. Sobered by the identity of his benefactor, Pip begins to take a hard look at himself.
'His expectations for himself have been largely false. They've been based on a kind of
illusion and he has to sort of pull himself together and assess that he is less than he
thought he was and less than he hoped he could be.'
...
As Pip and Estella leave the ruins of the past, they may go on to a happy ending or maybe
they won't. Only one thing is certain, in Dickens, as in life, the future rarely turns out
the way we expect it to.
