Great Expectations – Charles Dickens
On Christmas Eve, around 1812, Pip, an orphan who is about seven years old, encounters an escaped
captive in the village churchyard while visiting the graves of his mother, father, and siblings. The convict
scares Pip into stealing food and a file to grind away his shackles, from the home he shares with his
abusive older sister and her kind, passive husband Joe Gargery, a blacksmith. The next day, soldiers
recapture the convict while he is engaged in a fight with another convict; the two are returned to the
prison ships from which they escaped
