Originally a novel by Charles Dickens, Great Expectations is narrated by Philip Pirrip (more commonly known as Pip) who recounts his life story as he grows up and transforms into a young man. He retells of how he met and fell in love with a wealthy but heartless young girl named Estella, and how everything he did was for her, dreaming of becoming wealthy and successful in order to impress her.
Throughout the novel he receives guidance from a crazy old lady called Miss Havisham who raises Estella and eventually receives a fortune from an unknown benefactor, leading him to believe this may be the key to finally gaining Estella's love and appreciation.
