>Pip isn't allowed to learn the identity of his benefactor while pursuing his goal of becoming a gentleman but still keeps questioning their nature
This feels so Kafkaesque, I'm legitimately not surprised Kafka was a fan of Dickens considering Amerika kind of feels like a reverse of Great Expectations in a way, does anyone agree?
Great Expectations was shit and Picaresques are garbage

I actually enjoyed great expectations. Say what you want about it but it was a every comfy read. The plot twist at the end was very good as well.

I'm currently re-reading it after the last time being ten years ago back in secondary, discovering a lot of new appreciation for it. Especially love the descriptions of the marshes and the hulking ships coming into port.

I read Great Expectations in high school and hated it. I really should read it again now that I'm not a teenage shitter.

It's quite a piss poor choice of a book to analyze since it really doesn't offer much outside of a couple scenes but I can understand why it's the black sheep among Dickens work.
Do I read David Copperfield or A Tale of Two Cities next?
