Great Expectations. The Charac
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1724.... real life and so, he could not reach her. Stars are far and they can not be reached by us. In GE Estella is presented as an impossible dream for Pip. In the same way Pip has expectations in a material level, Estella would be Pip's love expectation.

miserable of men--a theme to be further developed in The Republic (Cornford xx).”
But here, Plato was referring to the politics of his time, and critics who
sided with Crito believed that The Republic was Plato's way of introducing a
political system in which he would feel comfortable supporting (Plato 204).

that it produces many social advantages and opportunities.
In the other story we have an out of work cartoonist who also has
an alcoholic problem. His is a condition that is so bad it requires him to
