The Discussion: Great Expectations

[mea505]

I just started reading Great Expectations for no particular reason other than for self-edification. As I have done with respect to some other material on this forum (other books, other authors), I would like to begin a thorough discussion about the book, that is, with respect to one chapter at a time. In the past, this has worked well; I see that there are others who have struggled with this book. Perhaps a discussion of this kind may help others as they try to understand this excellent piece of literature. Get back with me and chime in if you should be interested.

I wouldn't mind discussing the book...I just started reading it for the second time. It is one of my favorite books.

I really need to read this the whole way through, we read it as part of our English Lit. coursework so we had to skim read. I should get round to reading it all the way through fully, it's a great book.

I read the book first in English, now I am reading it in Spanish. I am utterly amazed at the extensive vocabulary in Spanish. I have to look up a word or two on every page, but this is really helping my Spanish.
